Cotton tote bags are amazing, because they're not just super useful - but they also serve as the perfect base to make art! You can embroider essentially any of our patterns onto a tote. Just make sure there is no stretch before using a hoop as support. The designed used for this Tote bag is inspired by a beautiful flower shop in Ljubljana, Slovenia. It was first released as a part of our pattern program, which is included in the Charles and Elin Academy. Come and join us ❤️ https://charlesandelinacademy.com/p/the-academy-bundle ?

Create Your Own Embroidery Designs with us: https://charlesandelinacademy.com/p/create-your-embroidery-design Hi! I'm back with another creative experiment! Today I wanted to play with the transparency of tulle fabric and see how I could create a double exposure piece. To enhance the effect I quickly decided that thread painting techniques would be the best way to go. In this way I would ensure that each element is neatly covered and would be more distinct on the fabric. It was a really fun challenge to have to think about the different layers and what part of the design should be on which "level". I haven't decided on the final framing yet, but there's certainly potential with using the embroidery hoop as final frame! Thanks to the thickness of the hoop, it adds a natural space between the first and second layer of the design and tulle, which emphasises the double exposure when you look from various angels. Perhaps to glue the two hoops together could be an idea before hanging it on the wall? Thanks for watching and for being with us!
