After I watched the bake off a few weeks ago I felt all inspired to stitch my own version of the iconic Tunnock’s Teacake

available in my etsy shop

I am now off to eat the remaining 5 all to myself ;]

For those with a interest in my Uni work, here is my latest experiments which I think are paying off. The use of Thermochromic inks within my knit, here I have painted yarn with the inks… after a few failed attempts with screen printing (the ink just cracked and didn’t look particularly professional when dry as I was using knitted wool rather than the recommended cotton fabric, but without a little experimentation I wouldn’t have known it didn’t work!) 

Although the texture of the text isn’t soft as it is painted on very soft merino wool, I think the aesthetics of this and the function it now serves over powers the need to be soft. I mean how else are you going to know when your tea is cold?!

Sculptural drawing is emerging as a key trend within VM and one of our favourite examples is from textile artist Debbie Smyth. She uses a pin and thread technique to lift the drawing off the page and has already produced window installations for the likes of Hermes and Neville Johnson.

Wine Portraits by Amelia Fais Harnas

I create portraits by staining fabric with red wine using a wax resist (much like batiks) to build a light/dark pattern. I may decide to add embroidery (split stitch, to be precise) or machine sewing to reinforce the design or composition. The end result is a blend of chaos and control.

mianoti: Meg Hitchcock * “In my text drawings I deconstruct the word of God by cutting letters from sacred writings and rearranging them to form a passage from another holy book. I may cut letters from the Bible and reassemble them as a passage from the Koran, or use letters cut from the Torah to recreate an ancient Tantric text. The individual letters are glued to the paper in a continuous line of type, without spaces or punctuation, in order to discourage a literal reading of the text. By bringing together the sacred writings of diverse traditions, I create a visual tapestry of inspired writings, all pointing beyond specifics to the universal need for connection with something greater than oneself…” This is: detail of Hymn to Vishnu, from the Methodist Hymnal Thanks, N.
