I've now worked more on the tricky negative image sample and found an answer of a sort, though it's still not as effective as the positive image. I think it's something to do with the way the red reacts with the black rather than the white.

This is always on my mind when I have stamped something, for instance, thinking to myself what was the point of getting out the paints and stamps if the resulting image or details of the image get covered up with thread.<br /><br />It's rather odd then that the negative image poses such problems. You are right in that the red thread does not interact in the same way as it does on the positive image and I'm not sure what the answer is. Perhaps mere outline of the white areas with a few small knots in the leaf area would work better. Yes, more experimenting is in order!The Idaho Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09979439849662755082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1995249205815458488.post-5156179387916921802017-04-18T07:43:38.721+01:002017-04-18T07:43:38.721+01:00How kind of you to think of me, Olga.

I was aware that the Spring Fling exhibition was coming to BA and that it would feature Scottish artists but have so far been too busy to go into Cirencester and do it justice. Now that you've reminded me, I will try and round up my gallery going friend and go this week. The work of both Gail Kelly and Deborah Campbell looks most interesting.

I know where I'm going with it whereas the second needs further thought, which is a strange thing because when I started both these pieces, I thought the second would come more easily.

I wonder whether my printer would print on a lightly stitched surface ... dare I try it ...??!!<br />Meanwhile, I will stitch the full version of the first image and think about the second. Thinking time is often most productive.

You have kept the impact of the black hedge, and added to it with the red.<br />I wonder if with the bottom image if the reverse process would work - the stitching (not so 3D with French knots) done first, and then a kind of printing - perhaps gum Arabic transfer of the hedge image on top?<br />These experiments are quite something. I wouldn't worry too much about presentation - often an initial idea of presentation develops and changes in the process just as much as the work itself does in the making.
