Exploring the connection between drawing and embroidery: Embroidery Notebooks

Hello everyone!

I'm Dominique Schwarzhaupt, the teacher behind the "Embroidered Notebooks" course at Domestika, and I'm excited to share with you the fascinating connection between drawing and embroidery, two forms of artistic expression that can merge in a unique and charming way.

Drawing and embroidery share a special connection that goes beyond the visual surface. Both arts require patience, attention to detail and creativity. But how can we bring that connection to a tangible level? The answer lies in the wonderful "Embroidered Notebooks".

Imagine an ordinary notebook, but with a magical touch. Embroidered notebooks are the perfect fusion of the art of drawing and the delicacy of embroidery. By allowing the lines and shapes to transcend the paper, we create three-dimensional works that come to life with every stitch.

The key to this unique connection is the grid. Using a grid gives us the ability to transfer a drawing design to paper in an orderly and precise manner. But how can you experiment with this at home? I have a surprise for you!

I have prepared a printable grid that you can download and use to make holes in your notebooks. This tool will allow you to practice patterns, experiment with new ideas and create your own designs. You can access the grid here:

By working with the grid, you will be creating a structure that will guide your embroidery. Each perforation will become a starting point to bring your creations to life - imagine the possibilities!

This process will not only allow them to improve their embroidery skills, but will also open up a world of possibilities for artistic expression. The connection between drawing and embroidery will become a tangible and rewarding experience.

Now, wondering how to take this to the next level? I invite you to join my course "Embroidered Notebooks" on Domestika.

In this course, I will guide you through advanced techniques, share my tricks and secrets, and inspire you to create unique and beautiful embroidered notebooks.

I'm excited to be your guide on this artistic journey, where drawing and embroidery meet to create something truly special.

See you at the course!
