Art work: Mimi Spirits by Thompson Nganjmirra - Mimi spirits are nonphysical beings who have been present and active since Creation and are attributed to the Kunwinjku people, of Kakadu. This blog has been developed to display my work for the City and Guild Level III Certificate in Embroidery with Sian Martin of Distant Stitch and other interesting photos of Australia and inspirations from my travels around the world.

Canvas Stitches in One Colour
This sample uses one colour thread on 10 count mono canvas. I used Perle No 5 cotton in light green. This type of thread has a nice sheen and produces interesting textural effects on stitches in a repeat pattern.
I would not generally use this colour but it was a close colour to the light green moss on the rocks. I tea dyed the canvas to take away the stark white and give an 'old' look.
A stitch key attached indicates the stitches used.
