Embroidery - Beggining of hand stitch [week 4]

Moving into hand stitch I knew that I wanted to carry a few elements through and develop them further, but working more with hand stitch. And so through the first week of hand embroidery I have tried to keep using dyed or stained fabrics as a ground. Whilst developing my visual influences further I came across images which I found very inspiring.

These images capture the movement and fluidity that I have been trying to include in my work, and I think having now found these I have the inspiration I need to make it work more successfully in my samples and drawings.
