Another artist that I have been looking at for ideas as to how to incorporate embellishments into my samples is Claire A. Baker. She uses a soft palette of colours, giving her pieces a vintage feel- with her aim of the pieces to give a nostalgic edge. In her write up, it says that she gains inspiration from old photographs, both her own, and those collected, vintage items and old buildings.
I think the thing that caught my eye with Claire's work is the clever way that she features photographs in her textiles pieces- and they fit, because of her stitch work and embellishment. This is how I feel our samples should look, and therefore I shall be attempting to merge my photographs into my pieces with stitch and use of embellishment materials, such as lace and beading.
