Matthew Collings and Emma Biggs - Lecture

She is a mosaicist and chooses the colours instinctively, which he then paints! Each side of the diamond is two tones of one colour. The colours draw your eye across the surface creating a visual vibration or pulse. 

I'd like to create this effect with the colours in my circles.

Satin circle lace

Six layers using Cotty and Tanne thread, which give a matt, worn appearance

after the dissolvable backing is washed off.

• Work out how to eliminate the central stitches that prevent cutting.
• Leave some circles uncut to create balance.

6 layers laced with ribbon through bobbin stitches to keep circles attached.

3 satin stitch layers with single running stitch to secure stitches, on fine inter-facing .

More satin stitch circles

Experimenting with different ways of cutting the satin stitch, continuing with the circle motif for now.
