Finding Inspiration for Hand Stitching
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
See something that inspires you? But how do you take what you see and make it your own? In this video I demonstrate my process of finding inspiration for my hand stitching and using those things that I find, and recreating them in my work.

After graduating from Parsons School of Design, I began my career in fashion design and freelanced both in New York City, as well as London. I designed hand knits for Elle Magazine and was the editor of the Hand Knit Page before hand knits fell out of fashion in the early 1990's and the page was discontinued. In 2008 I launched my jewelry design business, designing fine jewelry in 18 & 20 Kt Gold with gemstones that I hand select for each piece. Several awards and numerous write ups & interviews in all kinds of magazines and online zines, I rediscovered hand stitching and my life took another turn. I have been designing in some form since I sold my first felt embroidered xmas tree ornaments to a small shop in Northern California when I was 16 years old, and have never looked back. And while I've had detours along the way: had two children, worked at an advertising agency, got into acting in my early 20's, published some articles for various magazines and wrote for the Huffington Post for a few years, I have always come back to designing. It is my first love and remains so to this day.

I'm watching this again today, and I thought that cording wauld look great couched along the yellow and green Pat Pauli fabric. I know it's too late for this piece, but something to think about for something else. Miss seeing you all the time, Ariane. Do keep us posted as your work morphs and develops.

Oh I’m so glad you think so! ❤️
Thanks for a very informative video. At 27:40 the dark area you were talking about reminded me of a standing giraffe. I understand that you may not wish to interpret it that way but I remember your interaction with the giraffes in Africa!! They were sooo beautiful.

Very interesting to see the photos and results Ariane. Took my improv sampler to show my embroidery friends on Saturday and they said I should frame it!😄. At the moment I'm trying to design a surprise Lap quilt to applique on the old badges from my husband's last RAF years as the plane too ends its Years of Service. I intend embroidering nicknames etc. Not real embroidery as our community recognises and shows on fb but having conceived the idea I'm committed. It's time I made him something!! I'm paying for having had a busy week with low energy, bad heads etc. Hope you're doing better physically despite missing your mum.

This is very helpful. Are you familiar with On Growth and Form by D'arcy Wentworth Thompson? It is a formidable tome. I have never read much of it, but the diagrams are very inspirational for my designs.

Hi, do you use a backing piece for the linen you are stitching on?

I don't. I just stitch directly on the fabric without anything added.
I missed it! I was at puppy training 😩xxx
