Chapter 7 translating layered designs into embroidery two more samples

After my feedback from Sian I decided to try out her suggestions. I had felt that In my first sample the top shape dominated too much, Sian suggested using long stitches in a contrasting thread to help emphasis the red shape. Here is the result.

The stitching definitely brings the piece together and shows the middle shape more.

Sample 2 I had incorporated scrim as the top layer. Sian suggested trying to use 3. Layers of scrim. I struggled to work with several layers of scrim but was quite pleased with the final sample.

I added  French knots and machine embroidery to help the shapes stand out more.
