How to Add Texture and Depth to Slow Stitching Junco Bird Textile Art Collage

Slow Stitch along with me as I create layers of colour and texture and stitch a sweet Junco bird. I’ll demonstrate simple stitches, talk about needles, thread and how to add depth with colour. I also show how I do the blanket stitch. Check out the links to my other videos that just might help you find a starting point for getting going with slow stitching. #slowstitching

Thank you. I loved following along with your process. It was a real insight into how to take my stitching up a notch, whilst still keeping the lovely meditative nature of the repeated straight stitches.

Hi. Lovely video's. How do you separate the floss ready for stitching so not to get the thread tangled up? Warm regards. Allison

[@peaceofpi-studio]

Here’s how I do it! kzbin.infobOkKccV6Iqg?si=v0xyA4GXjY7AFB8q

[@ChasingTadpoles]

What do you do with all your small artwork? Very cool!

[@peaceofpi-studio]

Thanks! Some are mounted onto small canvases to hang. 😊🧵🪡

[@sallyholmes9655]

This is beautiful. Thanks for sharing your process. Just purely out of interest, how long did this piece take you? I know it’s not a race etc, genuinely just interested. Thank you.

[@peaceofpi-studio]

I’m guessing 15-20 hours for this one!😊🧵🪡

[@bizcoach7]

what type of thread is that? I have DMC embroidery thread but this one is shinier

[@peaceofpi-studio]

I’m using DMC 6 strand embroidery floss in the regular colours 😊🧵🪡
