I chose a white piece of fabric so i could concentrate on the different effects i could create with a piece of thread.
I attached this fabric across my hoop and decided to stitch by hand. I feel i can do a lot more by hand than what i can with a machine. Hand stitching does take a lot longer, but i feel i have a lot more freedom and so this is my preferred method.
I used threads of different thickness all different shades of red.
I used a running stitch, sewing in straight lines, circles, and then wherever my needle took me.
I experimented sewing in different shapes, the contrast between thick and thin threads, sewing in different directions and i experimented the the space between each row of thread. The closer the thread, the bolder and brighter the colour looked.
I tried to do each experiment with both thicknesses of thread.
