Couching Embroidery

Sew Much More : Episode SMM-147 -- More Projects »
The Sew Much More cameras visit needle artist Carol Warner, who creates small, brocade-type images by overlapping traditional embroidery stitches until a surface is completely covered. The process is painstakingly slow--it takes three hours to cover one square inch.

The result is a spontaneous blend of color and texture similar to the effect of paint on canvas. Much of Warner's subject matter draws upon her experience as an accomplished diver and includes coral reefs, fish and lobsters.
