| Open Work |
|
Open Work at Loralie Designs refers to line work designs, primarily open but with strategic filled areas to provide interesting textures and pattern detail. Originating from Loralie's personal handwork images, many categories of her artwork are represented in openwork - ladies, dogs, cats and flowers take on a special style in this alternative embroidery option. Typically openwork designs stitch out faster than filled designs and afford the opportunity for coloring, applique and other additions to create one of a kind, custom projects. The elegant simplicity of openwork embroidery can give a sophisticated lift to your embroidery projects. Use variegated thread for a quick upgrade of your project. |
