For two years, the wonderful Arlee Barr wrote a monthly post on the site, exploring art techniques, theory and practice. They were fascinating articles and we’d like to share a list of some of her earlier posts for you to peruse:
- ARTeries – Embroideries of the World: Kantha – Arlee explores ethnic embroidery.
- ARTeries – The Influences of Age – Using decomposition and aging effects in your work.
- ARTeries – Metal and Lace Music – Working with metal and lace.
- ARTeries – Personal Symbolism: Ceci n’est pas une pipe – Symbols and icons in stitch.
- ARTEries – The Plastic Arts – Soft Sculpture.
- ARTeries – Surface Tension – Exploring surface tension and its implications.
These are fascinating articles for the embroidery artists, thought-provoking and informative. Why not share your favourite techniques with us?
