Blackwork & Roseground was completed early in 2020.
Techniques: blackwork embroidery and roseground bobbin lace
Materials: Cotton embroidery floss red, Lugana 25 count cream
Design size: 3.6” w x 6.2” h (stitched area)
Total dimensions: 6” w x 12” h
Inspiration: Making roseground bobbin lace brought to mind the rhythm of the second movement of Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata and linear patterns of blackwork. Bobbin lace weaves thread stored on pairs of bobbins. In blackwork one thread stitches over then under the fabric while the other stitches under then over.
Challenge: Using continuous threads, stitch blackwork then flow into roseground Figure out how to support the fabric for each technique and how to transition between techniques.
