Adapting Art to embroidery works

Some people here like to make their own patterns and like to be inspired from art books. When working with studentsi have found that they find it easier to adapt certain art styles while others were harder. One excercize is cutting a 5X5 or 0ther sized squre in a cardboard. Now you can lay it on the chosen art print and start to collect threads with the colors of this square, Next step , take paper and pencil and draw the `shapes` , you see in this square,, [ rounds , dots, lines etc,,, ] Now you can workout your `inspired impression` from this piece of art. best of luck mirjam
