This is a design project inspired by Christine Chester for the Lockdown Stitch Challenge http://www.textileartist.org . I really enjoyed it .I took the opportunity to use it as a continuation of my research on embroidery on wool and would like to explain the colour choices! Pateh Doozi , an Iranian needlework / folk art uses these 8 colours in certain combinations …. blue and red = purple etc…. I used them in the same way but with a modern twist.

Why the orange ? I always get asked at my workshops … well… you should see it without the orange ! The orange brings it to life!

The yarns and the fabric are sheep and goats wool . They are also traditionally used in Pateh Doozi .

I have taken photos of the work and used App.Ology to create new designs . Amazing stuff this App.Ology!
