Over hill, over dale,

Thorough bush, thorough brier,

Over park, over pale,

Thorough flood, thorough fire,

I do wander every where,

Swifter than the moon's sphere;

And I serve the fairy queen,

Moonrise by Saskia Boelsums

А Snake in the Grass (1883)

This was my stitch on canvas that I made using embroidery threads. I have approximately 20-30 different coloured embroidery threads all different shades. I opted to use more or less every colour, I was aiming for vibrancy and contrast. I feel working with colours enables me to enjoy the process more. If I was working solely with monochromatic colours, I would become bored. It wouldn’t catch my eye like the above does. I took photos every so often to show how the canvas progressed with each new hue added. The stitching looks like weaving, when the threads interlace and overlap each neighbouring thread. This adds dimension.
