Surface Embellishment: is an important component of freeform, it’s a great way of bringing your personality, your style & your skills to your work & putting your own stamp on your project. There are 1000’s of ways to embellish & I have covered but a few basics that I hope you find helpful & encourage you to experiment…
Rummage through your buttons & beads, have another look at your embroidery threads & don’t forget those cords & braids that you’ve kept forever & haven’t had a use for… try to think outside of the box.. if you’re anything like me & have kept stuff simply because you love the colour, texture, sheen or whatever, you won’t have any trouble finding interesting ways to embellish your work – &, it doesn’t only apply to freeform – a drab pullover, scarf or beanie can sometimes be redeemed with a little extra bling…
So, to everyone who has contacted me asking how to add that extra something to their work, I hope I’ve answered at least some of your questions…
