This is so beautiful!!! I just thought of something, the way that she mounts her embroidery, and then places them in shadow boxes. I think it would be really neat if she did a bunch of different species of butterflies, true to color, pattern and size and mounted them in shadow boxes. I bet they would look very realistic and Would be a gorgeous alternative for people who wouldn't like to buy real mounted specimens.
I'm not sure if they make water soluble embroidery stabilizer large enough for that kind of thing. Even commercial embroidery machines wouldn't be able to embroider something like that.
An industrial machine could do this. You'd just have to make 2 pieces and then join them by hand. It would *totally* be an awesome transformation scene!
You can definately use it for garment details. I made scarves/wraps using the water soulable fabric. Not with embroidery as such but using multiple ribbons, metallic threads, silk yarns and silk scraps sandwiched between two sheets, then machine sewed cris cross all over. When rinsed in water the sandwich layer disappears leaving the loose ”fabric” you created to be used anyway you like. You can make it as loose and ”holy” as you like, or use gause or cheese cloth as a more cohesive layer of the fantasty fabric if you add it to the middle of your sandwich. So in effect you can use it as fabric to cut and sew parts of garments or appliqué or for art. Also you can starch your pieces adding more structure. It’s neat to experiment with and a great way to repupose cut off threads and scraps of anything with beauty.
My incredibly talented stepmom used this same technique to make the feature on the train of my wedding gown, also hand-sewn by her - a hanging branch of cherry blossoms. It was and still is absolutely breathtaking!
@@nicolemelo8994 my point is that there was nothing aggressive in the way she handled it. That's about how you would clean any delicate fabric or item, lace underwear, doll clothes, etc. For fabric delicate doesn't mean it will fall apart if you touch it, it just means don't toss it in a machine
@@kleineoOoStern my issue here is this: she is obviously an extremely talented artist, and her work is stunningly beautiful. They don’t need to embellish anything by saying she developed a technique that was long since developed by others. It has more to do with the reporting than the artist I think.
I have only just discovered this soluble fabric technique and It is stunning to me. I so love artists who are so good that I am "gobsmacked" by their work. Like many art/crafty types I use anything I learn from ANY medium in my stuff. Thanks and enjoy.
Liz…. Old technique. I have used this dissolvable fabric for years. I used it for FSL meaning, Free Standing Lace. She’s very good with her beautiful designs.
@@bibaolaitan5189 it dissolves the fabric. It would be like drawing a picture, then dipping your paper in water to dissolve the paper and only the art remained.
I attended a class where the teacher showed us how to make a vest this way. She used various types of thread and yarns and stitched them onto water soluble fabric. Very cool
I love the subjects, colours, and dimension she includes in her pieces. It's a brilliant way to use this material and technique 😊❤️ Molding them really takes it that step further. Nature inspired art always has a place in my heart.
Machine embroidery on soluble backing is quite a mainstream technique. You can get different levels of stiffness depending on how well you rinse. Nice work; she makes good use of the material's properties.
She did not “develop” the pinning (shadow mounting) technique. I knew an artist here in Dallas who did that almost 20 years ago with tiny bits of paper. Other artists have been doing it, she just happens to do it with fabric.
She isn’t the first one to even do it with fabric or embroidery. Her work is beautiful. I don’t think it takes away from the beauty of her work if people point this out. It’s just not factual that she was first.
I'm just disappointed that she didn't make the pins, spin the fibre to make the thread or hand make the dye then hand dye the thread. She literally purchased medium and created something from it. Everyone knows real artist make everything themselves including techniques.
Ms. Woolnough YOU are fantastic at what you do here! Thanks for sharing. It's _never_ disappointing or overwhelming to see new & innovative things happening with embroidery. What IS overwhelming is finding the time to try all these new things we see & find digging around online or worse... on sale! LoL! HUGS from a Canadian, fellow needle nerd.
@@carolnacarato4448 - Are you excited to try something like this? I mean getting the special paper & diving in head first? My 1st time WILL be a mess. You know like burning the 1st pancake. HAHA!
I have her book! Highly recommend as its both informative and mind-numbingly beautiful. Have done a few projects, too. Her designs take a LOT of sewing! Great project for a long weekend.
Some of these look like something my great grandmom would make by hand... I felt her presence watching this!!! She would be all over this amazing use of dissolvable fabric.... until this moment I hadn't linked the possible ideas together...I thought why on earth would you want desolveable clo tut hes except 1 time stunts...and pray it dont rain or you spill your drink... now.... I know... and the endless ideas of possibilities are blowing my mind away
We used to do this kind of stuff years ago when the water soluable interfacing first came out. We did some amazing things but i had almost forgotton about it. That was when the home embroidery machines were in such high demand for home sewers..... the years have gone by and things have changed to other things.
why are people making this about the mistakes of the video editor? its her art and it’s beautiful and its so nice to see Australian artists finally being recognised for their talents, we don’t see that very often.
I did this before after getting the idea using water soluble stabilizer for freehand machine embroidery. I thought "what happens if I don't use fabric but instead use two layers of this stuff?" and it turned out fine I'm glad she had her art shown in museums! She's talented 😍
This tread is specially used in garment manufacturing industries... For temporary stitches to get good result...and it will melt away after washing... This save time and labour energy... I went 6 months industrial training... They teach lots of good stuffs...
Beautiful work! Under the sea has such a wealth of beautiful 'other worldly' creatures and plants, many of them being incredibly delicate. Jellyfish, corals, anemones etc. Some look very delicate yet are v strong. I love her choice of subjects.
Oh I've got a whole roll of this stuff somewhere and a HEAP of old thread. Definitely time to pull it all out I think, thanks for the actually useful rec, youtube.
This remind me to my late granduncle. When I was kid, he embroidered some of my traditional dress baju kurung. I wish i can learn the skill back then. His skill is very hard to find now.
Man I've seen fashion shows involving "waterfalls" : the water is cold af, it looks awkward bc the models can't squint of rub their eyes to see and a LOT OF THEM SLIPPED. it's just a mess
Oh wow, I really like those designs and there has always been something about embroidery thread that makes the color seem extra vivid to me. Its always cool to watch a practiced hand performing as well, that smooth and confident motion takes half a lifetime to develop. She should try her hand at some tattoos, I would volunteer as a test subject....after a few other people...that ink is for life!

Fantastic idea
I would absolutely buy those
Oh that's awesome. I'd buy beetles if she made them too
👀👀👀YES
This would be cool for costumes especially like a mermaid transformation scene.

Colorful mermaid to nekkid mermaid

Would you like to share a picture of the train?
Yes. Please.
It sounds beautiful!!
I see I’m not alone to see your bridal train!!
That sounds awesome :0
She draws with a sewing machine.. that is insane. What talent she has!
i can draw with ketchup and fries
Very woke using the word insane these days
Really truly, this woman is a goddess
Vivid imagination and an advanced skill level is more likely. It is What people mean by "she has talent".
@@michaelabeneker4534 yeah but i guess most people would rather use 1 single word, it’s quicker 🤷🏻♀️
them: "delicate, lacelike embroideries"
her: *aggressively wrings it out*
I know, I was like, dang girl 😂
lol !! not so delicate after all!!
She squeezed it, she didn't wring it out
@@slashbat2375 "aggressively squeezes it" doesn't have the same energy does it

She didn’t develop the technique of shadow mounting though. It’s a technique used by professional framers for ages
They said she uses not she created ^^
@@kleineoOoStern It says created in the description. But maybe that has a diffrent menaing.
@@kleineoOoStern “to display her work, she developed a technique called shadow mounting.”

Where can I buy it?

Am still confused... what does the water do for the fabric...
@@bibaolaitan5189 it dissolves the fabric. It would be like drawing a picture, then dipping your paper in water to dissolve the paper and only the art remained.
@@alexarotheschild4169 thats cool... thanks for explaining...
@@truth674 It dissolves to cold water. It is not good to environment though with high amounts used, it seems to be dangerous to seafood.
The level of patience and dedication needed to make even one of those must be insanely high, so I'm gonna to worship her for that alone..
no, it is insanely high if is handmade. this is sewing on a machine and it is something that people been doing for decades.

Oh my goodness, this technique could help sew amazing table top throws and elemental motifs.
I love the internet. I love that daily I get to see how creative and amazing people are. This is so freaking cool.
I remember this stuff from my high school art class, from 27 years ago. Used it to make a waist coat for my GCSEs
Wowww Amazing art.

Stunning!
Haven't seen this technique in quite a while...glad it's back.
Wow.... she's a wizard on the sewing machine!
Is it possible to like this video more than once?
Thank you for sharing such a glossy, time lapse piece of fiber artist eye candy!
This is the real miracle,describing the inner beautiful world of an artist's soul.
This is so cool!
This is one of the coolest talents I have seen. I wish I could make something so neat!
This is simply beautiful. She is so gifted and talented.
По факту кружева, в технике машинной вышивки. Мило, ярко, радует глаз))
So Cool!
Wow, I didn't even know there was water soluble fabric. I'm so happy this popped up in my feed. Time to dust off my embroidery machine.

Nobody is going to point out her last name is “Woolnough” literally “no wool” aka the wool isn’t there anymore 😂
I thought I was the only one who noticed it lol
Me too 😂
Destiny is made 😂
Her tailoring skills are super amazing..
Such lovely creations! I love that she optimizes her art. The gallery with exhibition, I'd definitely drop by if it is near. Just art and beautiful 😍

What a talented lady she is.
Mesmerizing talent!
i heard they use this technique at the met on really old gowns with unique lace patterns they have to restore. So cool!
I saw some of the clips over on Instagram a few days ago! Cool to learn more about the person behind it!
This is beautiful ! You should come to a french exhibit !
Wow ! God has blessed her with a wonderful talent
This remind me to my late granduncle. When I was kid, he embroidered some of my traditional dress baju kurung.
I wish i can learn the skill back then. His skill is very hard to find now.
Clever idea and spotless skill!
Hermosísimo y delicado Arte!,Felicitaciones y gracias x compartirlo!
Abrazo grande desde Uruguay!
How impressive! Kudos for discovering this process!
Wow absolutely beautiful designs.
I did not know there was water soluble fabric. How cool.
How absolutely gorgeous!
❇️🌷🌸🌺🌻🌼🏵️💐💠💮
In my village kids used graphite pencils on paper.. ✏ to create lovely designs.. and turned embroidery frames by hand for lovely designs..
It's really beautiful and creative 👍 I have not seen such things in my life .
Simplesmente uma das coisas mais lindas que eu vi na internet
Beautiful coral patterns!
We’ll have an excellent reminder of how it looked before we killed them all. 😍
Qué Hermosa Maravilla haces! Gracias por compartir tanta belleza! Dios te Bendiga. 🙏❤️
Saludos Cordiales desde Uruguay.🇺🇾
If you aren't rare I live under a rock. Beautiful!
She's a genius!! 🤩🤩😍
Seriously this is just "Wow!!" First time l have *ever* seen this technique OR these materials before. Thank 💐 You for sharing your secrets!!👍👏🌈🇨🇦
It’s so cool and wild to me how they don’t unravel without the cloth in them. Very talented, very beautiful work.
because it is made by a sewing machine.
i want someone to design dresses like this, then make models walk under waterfall on the runway to reveal the embroidery 🥺
A real hunger games moment. Awesome.
Man I've seen fashion shows involving "waterfalls" : the water is cold af, it looks awkward bc the models can't squint of rub their eyes to see and a LOT OF THEM SLIPPED. it's just a mess
I've never seen anyone sew like that, fascinating...
It's normal machine, freehand embroidery. Takes practice and a steady hand, but it's not as difficult or unique as the clip makes it seem.
that's so cool. ওয়াও ভাল্লাগছে
Wow, she is super creative 👏

Es fabuloso! Increíblemente bello todo lo que has creado! 🤗💗
Holy Crap! This is freaking amazing! The concept is so simple, but her skill is at level "natural virtuoso" , lol.
THATS SO BEAUTIFUL!!! omgg
Beautiful 😍 You can even create delicate clothes this way💖
Imagine a met gala look with this!!
The ginkgo leaves are stunning.
The artwork is just marvellous
Art has no limits
This can be even good to teach kids about anatomy . And other subjects as well
When you think ‘people are so imaginative’, you come across one that just blows your mind!!!
this is something that people is making since decades ago..
É bonito, mas só serve para decorar... Pouco prático no dia a dia. Entretanto, uma bela arte. Parabéns!
This is really cool!!
One of the most creative and beautiful things I’ve seen. Absolutely love it!
Amazing technique and beautiful artwork.
That is incredible! I wish she was doing requests because I would most certainly buy some.
Omg .so incredible. My life I am first time see this tip is Embroidery. Very pretty no words. 🌹🌹
The patience this girl has
I've never heard of this. How interesting!
Amazing technique, beautiful forms and colours!
