Surface Techniques and Fabric Manipulation
Inspiration calls for me to bring a needle near,
to sit for hours in my chair.
To feel the thread running through my hands,
to create a picture that is so grand.
-Muse, by Janet M. Davies

I have always been mesmerised by the boundless possibilities for exploration in the art of hand embroidery and surface manipulation. It is amusing how the
assimilation of a simple kantha stitch can refashion the simplest and most unremarkable garments. Through my various training projects, I have learnt a
lot about the art of surface techniques and fabric manipulation, both for knits, as well as for woven fabrics.
