#TextileTuesday: look closely, it’s a “needlepainting!” A favorite piece from the “Making Her Mark: A History of #WomenArtists in Europe, 1400-1800” exhibition at Baltimore Museum of Art:
Mary Linwood (British, 1755-1845)
after George Stubbs (British, 1724-1806)
Tygress, c. 1798
Worsted wool needlework
“The vibrant copper, red, and green passages in this copy after George Stubb's painting Tygress are rendered not in paint but stitched in dyed wool thread. By the 1780s, Mary Linwood had become famous for her ‘needlepaintings,’ which she exhibited at the Society of Artists in London.
Later, she opened her own public exhibition of her works that debuted in London and then toured to cities in Scotland and Ireland; in 1806, she opened her own gallery in Leicester Square in London, where this work was shown. Her gallery remained a major attraction for nearly forty years.”

I made this patch specifically to sew on a black coat but now that it's made, I think it looks better against light fabrics. We shall see~

Embroidery updates : a cat in needle painting !
About a month ago, I finished this project of a cat in a hoop, needle-painted, and gifted it to a colleague at her retirement party. It was my 1st time using this technique, and I think the result is pretty good.
This project started about a year ago, with me wanting to learn this technique... and not really having an end goal for it lol. So I bought Hiroko Kubota's book : Embroidered Cat in My Pocket (the French version is Brode un chat dans ta poche, at Les Éditions de Saxe). And I just started slow, not knowing where I was going. Here are some creepy photos of a cat without eyes (the quality is not ideal but I don't have any other photos of the WIP) :
Then later in the year, my dear colleague announced she was leaving, and suddenly I had the best idea ever : why not gift it to her, since she likes cats and has an artistic mind ? This meant, of course, that I could no longer dilly-dally, and so I finished just in time for her retirement party. (And yes, I worked on the Laudna blouse in parallel, the summer was very complicated guys)
I didn't know how to finish it properly on the back, so I watched a bunch of Youtube videos, cut the fabric very close, glued it on the hoop with clothespins to keep it in place, and cut a cardboard circle and glued it on the hoop on the back.
My colleague loved it.
More details under the cut !
The posture is maybe leaning a little bit too much to the right, but once I started, there's nothing I could have done.
The colours on the ears are a little weird (the darker colours should be on the inside, not on the outside) and that's because the book used Olympus thread - that I cannot find here in France easily - and give a chart for DMC threads equivalency... and the chart is not very well done. Some colours are not the same at all, including the ones I used on the ears. But I started by the ears, and again, once you're in, you're in !
I'm mostly proud of the general fading of the colours, especially on the body, and I think I managed to give to this project the texture desired : like a cat's fur !
It was a good intro to this technique (oh yeah btw : 1 strand only, with size 10 embroidery needle, a combination of long and short basic stitches, except for the whiskers that are done in split stitch). And I will continue to use the book and the things I've learned, but also coming back to traditionnal embroidery... because yes, needle-painting is great, but it takes so much time !!

I finish this corset a few weeks ago but never got around to photographing it. I think it complements the Fall colors outside very nicely though. #Embroidery #NeedlePainting #LegitBJD #ArtifexKindred #MiniKindred #Minigenue #TwiglingIngenue #BallJointedDoll #BJD #BJDsewing #BJDclothes #DollClothes https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj3iOvmyNa6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Working my way through a needlepainting tutorial from Emillie Ferris and I'm loving how this is turning out. I had been wanting to learn how to needlepaint for so long, but just couldn't quite figure it out how to fill in a large space with stitches that looked neat. Her tutorial is very easy to follow even for someone pretty new to embroidery and I'm having a blast. Just wanted to share :)
#embroidery#needlepainting#shout out to concentriccookies for listing this tutorial in their pinned post#and also because their embroidery art is so amazing it made me want to learn#also how great is that fern gradient!!!!#my art
