OUIL406 Simini Blocker & Lily Louise Scott

Lily Louise Scott and Simini Blocker are both contemporary illustrators experimenting with embroidery. A medium I have used in the past but have stopped using since I have been on the course. I'm looking into incorporating embroidery into my work but not just as singular images such as in these pieces but incorporating them into images of Catherine the Great.  


The tight stitching used within these images is a lot different from my looser style of stitching however if i am making smaller images for the stamps that are slightly more simplistic using tighter stitches with a stronger consistency may be better. 




Creating strips of russian pattern through embroidery onto images as well as embroidering characters are all possibilities.
