Richard McVetis - stitched thread on wool flannel

I signed up for this in the hope I would get started before the show but it will be much too late but I love the idea of drawing with stitches.

Wool flannel + Seed stitch

Embroidery hoop

No 12 Perle Cotton thread and matching the needle to the thread

Knot - wrap thread 3 times round the needle and pull through

Conceptual tool - records time like a full stop or a comma. The randomness, organic motion

One piece here - light map of Chicago, ephemeral quality of the light being captured in stitches.

Friction pens from Rymans

Bags of Love Dye Sublimation heat transfer - disappears over time so you can print a design onto fabric and then use the lines as a guide for your stitching
