Needlepoint Tapestry

Size 28cms x 28cms.

The original design for this needlepoint was a silk painting for a large crepe de chine silk scarf. The black gutta was applied first, and then the shapes were filled in with the brilliant dyes. Translating this design to needle and thread removed the dynamism of the design, but the essence of the fun of blocks of colour, large and small is retained and it becomes very sensitive and delicate composition.

I used petit point stitch on 12 to the inch mono canvas, using six stranded cotton. The canvas is still slightly visible, which is a conscious intention because, knowing the artwork would be considerably enlarged, I wanted to pass on, visually, the message of how it was made.
