Lynn Skordal has been described as a collage, embroidery and mixed media artist. It’s therefore no surprise that her work is eclectic; often made from stamps found in the street, vintage pictures, magazines and books. She uses whatever she finds and inspires her to create Munchesque dreamscapes or bizarre yet alluring alternate realities. All of which are designed to ‘alarm, startle or provoke.’⁠
⁠
Her fascinating work has made her an international success and we had the pleasure of catching up with her to discuss her latest work. ⁠
⁠

This pulled thread work from our student @themothe

This pulled thread work from our student @themothership_art is DIVINE! 🌟💜⁠
⁠
By all accounts this task was a bit of a 'slog' but the results are stunning. Such a lovely, traditional embroidery technique. ⁠
⁠
Pulled thread embroidery or drawn thread work is a form of counted-thread embroidery (whitework) and instead of cutting the fabric, the threads are grouped together using stitches to draw the fabric threads together. This produces a lacy effect which can be bundled together into a variety of patterns. ⁠
⁠
Does anyone else do pulled thread work? ⁠

Ok, so more silk paper with mulberry silk couched with a cross stitch. I also used a few beads to accent the colour mix. This again is part of my peacock study and if you use a lot of imagination you may see the colour of a peacock feather behind the grid! #mystitchjourney⁠
