These are a few sketches and samples of my french knot piece. I was inspired by a photo of a branch I found on a walk covered in lichen. I loved its luminous colours and the shapes seemed to lend themselves to being rendered in french knots. I really enjoyed blending colours in a pointillist way by grandually adding new knot colours in layers. I loved stitching french knots with pieces of ripped fabric and chunky yarn, which it had never occurred to me to try before.
