Textile Illustration

This is a machine stitched illustration of a teapot on muslin. The mat was created by appliquéing floral fabric onto the muslin with zig-zag stitch and gives the illustration context and depth. This stitch co-ordinates with the fabric and contrasts the straight stitch. The fabric and pink stitch adds colour to the piece and enhances the traditional feminine feel created by the embroidery and tea pot. The grey stitch suggests reflections and therefore gives an indication of the material and form.
