Embroidered Flowers

 Recently, I had the opportunity to to do a workshop with Jennie -Maree Tempest a textile artist that specialises in machine embroidered flowers.

The sculptural forms are created in pieces and then assembled. Jenni - maree carefully examines and  pulls apart the real flowers to create lifelike creations,

Lots of sampling to learn the basics

My first attempts. Daisy, Flannel Flower, Lavender and a Calistemon or Bottle Brush flower. 

A great workshop and I will be making more of these flowers.
