Combining drawings and hand stitch

I was inspired by Alice Kettle. Her work involves combining drawings, prints, hand stitch into contemporary textiles.

In the Guise of an Angel

I have found this piece very inspiring, the use of colours, the textures and the energy within have bought movements in to this piece. I was trying to create the sketchy feel in my work by using mainly drawing and use little hand stitch just to bring out the details.  

The making of my works.

Open blanket stitch

The colour on the background are accidental, I have been using this piece of fabric for ironing my ink-up receipts, therefore, the ink stain got onto the fabric.
Then I have started cut out coloured fabric and place them on top in a collage way and used chain stitch, french knots and open button hole to creates the petals of the flower, on each flower, I was trying to creates more details by creating smaller loops.

Cornely Machine Stitch, Sample

This is just a sample of using the Cornely Machine.
At first I have found it hard to control, for the Cornely Machine design is really different from a sewing machine, on a sewing machine I would have my hands on the fabic, foot on the paddle, in order to control the directions. Where on a Cornely Machine I have my foot on the paddle, but there is a handle under the table, even though I have step on the paddle, but the needle won't move unless I pull down the handle. Also the handle is where I have the control over the directions, like driving a car.
