Bullfinch Embroidered Hanging
Exquisite embroidery detailing in these one off pieces by Chloe Morter design.
Each one a one-off. With a hanging hoop.
Bullfinch 13cm W x 14cm H
‘My work combines the intricacy and texture of machine embroidery with layers of background collage. Starting on a linen or cotton ground, pieces are based around an initial embroidery design which is developed from drawings and photos and run on a dedicated embroidery machine. This is then overworked with free motion embroidery stitching to add detail and depth. For the backgrounds I work more loosely and intuitively. I re-use scraps of recycled and often very old careworn fabric, plus prints and handmade paper which I like to combine in an impressionistic and loose style of collage.
Inspiration comes from a keen interest in the natural world – particularly the birds and beasts within the landscape, thinking about the layers and light of the environment as I walk through it. Colour, texture and pattern play a big part in my work and my lifelong passion for illustration and art history have always been a strong influence. I like to bring a simple and close focus to the striking beauty of our native birds’ . Chloe Morter
