Hand stitch Embroidery

French knot:
As it was Guy Fawkes Night I was inspired by the fireworks so by using only black and grey I wanted to create an exploding effect through this sample that represents fireworks.

For this hand stitch I wanted to create a detailed composition using line. I was inspired by one of my chance card drawing that was a sketch of a stone fence. I feel that this stitch was successful and it has potential to develop into a pattern.

I was inspired by one of my chance card drawings I drew a pattern on a piece of recycled newspaper.  I wanted to concentrate on the balance of the pattern and keep the lines very much similar to my drawing.
