PORT-RAY (BARGHELLO)
First there was Man-Ray; now, we have Port-Ray. Here I take the traditional, not-so-humble) technique of barghello embroidery, and stand it on its head. All the rules are thrown out of the window, in order to create a very freeform version of the technique. As always, I try to see how far I can push the medium and experimenting with it has yielded some pleasing results so far.
If you'd like to have a go at stitching some of these fabulous designs, I shall soon be making some patterns available on Etsy here. NB: I am selling patterns ONLY, as digital downloads - not kits. I do however provide an overview of eventual dimensions of each piece, as well as expected colour usage.
