Monstera

This is a series of three machine embroideries of Monstera. The stitching was done over a linocut print. When I do a print I do lots and often onto fabric as well as different papers. As part of my commitment to using up my stash of stuff I decided to make the fabric prints into embroideries.

Each of the embroideries used different thread colours and a combination of regular sewing threads in both cotton and polyester and quilting cotton.

I sew the fabric print onto heavy bag lining/pelmet vilene.

Mounted and framed they make a good gift.
