A heart with some French Knots and Poetry.
Heart by theresa mARTin
Detail of the Heart.
This is a 6″ x 6″ piece of embroidery on cloth using French Knots in the motif of the Heart.
Detail of a collage. This part is a transfer using TAP.
For this piece I made a collage in Photoshop and printed it out onto Lesley Riley’s TAP (Transer Artist Paper). This became the centerpiece for a collage made with paper, thread and cloth.
This is a self portrait made for the Needle Thread Cloth blog. The blog was a year long challenge exercise that ended in May 2014 with the portrait challenge. While there will be no more new challenges, anyone is welcome to follow any of the challenges and email a photo to me. I will continue to post any new work sent in. You can find the challenges HERE.

The French knots are exquisite and the colours are positively dreamy. I found myself transfixed by those knots.
The collage printed onto TAP is absorbing and the self-portrait if brimming over with incredible textures.
