Embroidered Notebooks

Embroidery sketchbook

“You have reached the end of the course, thank you very much for having accompanied me on this adventure. I hope you had as much fun as I did. Now you have all the tools to create your own embroidered notebook. Before saying goodbye, I want to share with you an example of the steps that I would like to see from your course project: Inspiration Start by looking for images as a source of color inspiration, go for a walk, take photos or look at magazines, books or other artists. Think about the colors that surround you and make your own color log in your notebook.

The practice Practice the stitches learned, use the colors from the previous images to make circles and embroidered cross stitch patterns. Get familiar with the materials and colors, see how they behave when embroidered. The drawing Start drawing, choose whether you do it using a grid or if you prefer freehand, the important thing is that you find your voice. Remember that the notebook has many pages and use them to practice. Not all the drawings are going to be incredible but they are all part of the process. Once ready, start embroidering your drawings, think about how embroidery can complement what you have drawn. Color Now add a little color to your drawing and thus generate more contrasts with the embroidery that you will do on top. Don't you feel comfortable drawing? Use photographs and then embroider on them, you can try drawing it later or just play with embroidered photographs. The embroidery notebook Start embroidering your project, be careful and don't forget to put into practice the recommendations I made. Lastly, add other exercises. Feel free to play with materials and shapes. The idea is that you continue doing different exercises! An embroidered notebook is never finished, look for different stitches and bring them to the paper, that way you will have different stitch options to revisit when you are doing other embroidery projects. So remember that this is not the end, it is only the beginning of new projects. Share your project by clicking "Create your project". In addition to photographs of each stage of the process. Also share a short text in which you talk about your experience in making it. I will be eagerly waiting to see what you have achieved. I will give you feedback as soon as possible. However, I ask you to be patient, as it may take me a while to respond. See you in the forum!”
