Hamada Al Fahim is an Arabic fashion designer, that creates the most beautiful clothing, with the aim to bring the owner of the garment 'joy and confidence, to add more spark and fulfilment to people's lives through fashion and art'. She uses whatever materials she can get hold of, and creates intricate and delicate pieces of work, filled with the most exquisite embellishments.
Taking inspiration from this dress embellishment in particular, I tried to replicate the pattern in my own style, and in a way that would run nicely alongside my stitch research. I used both satin stitch and french knotting in order to create the bottom sample. I really enjoyed doing this- I find it both relaxing and rewarding, it just takes a bit of time! Looking at it now I think that I could've matched the colours better to my own colour scheme, but overall- I am pleased.
