- Meredith Woolnough creates embroidered artworks using a freehand embroidery technique on water-soluble fabrics. The process for creating her embroidered artworks starts with creating a design that can structurally hold its shape for this technique. Then she freehand-sews with a machine, dissolves the fabric backing in water, and mounts the artwork with pins. Her work has been displayed in exhibitions and featured in magazines around the world.

How Embroidery Comes To Life With Water-Soluble Fabric | Insider Art - Навчання та стиль
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.
That's such a cool idea!
Fantastic idea
I would absolutely buy those
Oh that's awesome. I'd buy beetles if she made them too
👀👀👀YES
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!
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
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
@@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
This would be cool for costumes especially like a mermaid transformation scene.
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.
Colorful mermaid to nekkid mermaid
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!
Yes that would be so amazing
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.
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 🤷🏻♀️
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.”
@@kleineoOoStern 1:57 "To display her work, she developed a technique called shadow mounting." How is that not making it sound like she invented it?
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
Здравствуйте! Скажите, пожалуйста, что за материал используется? Как называется ткань, которая растворяется?
Where can I buy it?
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.
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.
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.
True, that! But the use of the “disappearing” backing is brilliant! It blew up my mind!
@@anachronism88 Seriously? If that’s the way you feel, next time you need a new tire, why don’t you just reinvent the wheel first?
@@pameladake6483 you obviously don't understand sarcasm.
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.
That's a great idea!
@@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!
Cuáles son los materiales que se utilizan como se llama el papel a mí me gusta bordar en todas las maneras o formas posibles
I remember this stuff from my high school art class, from 27 years ago. Used it to make a waist coat for my GCSEs
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
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.
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 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 😍
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.
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.
Oh my goodness, this technique could help sew amazing table top throws and elemental motifs.
That's so fun.. Cartago in Colombia has been doing this since decades.. And you are amazed now
По факту кружева, в технике машинной вышивки. Мило, ярко, радует глаз))
Haven't seen this technique in quite a while...glad it's back.
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 😂
I make lace the same way.
How absolutely gorgeous!
❇️🌷🌸🌺🌻🌼🏵️💐💠💮
Wow.... she's a wizard on the sewing machine!
I love the internet. I love that daily I get to see how creative and amazing people are. This is so freaking cool.
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!
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.
Amazing. A master of her trade. ❤
Wow, never heard of that soluble fabric. Awesome result!
This is the real miracle,describing the inner beautiful world of an artist's soul.
This is beautiful ! You should come to a french exhibit !
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.
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...
What/where would people search to find industrial training, please?
@@xxkissmeketutxx Depends on your country. Maybe art colleges with textiles or needlework schools
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
Qué Hermosa Maravilla haces! Gracias por compartir tanta belleza! Dios te Bendiga. 🙏❤️
Saludos Cordiales desde Uruguay.🇺🇾
This is one of the coolest talents I have seen. I wish I could make something so neat!
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 😍
One of the most creative and beautiful things I’ve seen. Absolutely love it!
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.
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.
@BrendaDavis same
This is simply beautiful. She is so gifted and talented.
How impressive! Kudos for discovering this process!
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.
Какая Необычайная Красота! Очень вдохновляет!
THATS SO BEAUTIFUL!!! omgg
Mesmerizing talent!
😍I love this... The concept and her designs...
Beautiful coral patterns!
We’ll have an excellent reminder of how it looked before we killed them all. 😍
Stunning!
I I absolutely find us to be the most beautiful thing an idea I have ever seen!!! ✌🏻💗😊❣️
Amazing technique, beautiful forms and colours!
Seriously this is just "Wow!!" First time l have *ever* seen this technique OR these materials before. Thank 💐 You for sharing your secrets!!👍👏🌈🇨🇦
This art is heavenly.
That technology and her talent is amazing
Clever idea and spotless skill!
Quite interesting! I would love to learn, it has so many promising ideas to play with! Thank you!
Amazing work. Never seen before like it keep it up stay bless stay connected wish you more success friend.
These are beautiful!
Amazing!! Beautiful!
This is really cool!!
Wow! That is glorious.
So beautiful its amazing!
However I can't help but to think about giving someone a tshirt with this fabric as a gift and seeing them puzzled as it disappear in the washing machine 🤭
Or even better, they got caught in a shower of rain. 😆
Even better, they sweat
Best surprise gift
I adore them!!
Beautiful 😍 You can even create delicate clothes this way💖
Wow! Just,WOW!
Such an amazing idea
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!
That’s so cool!
This is so cool!
This can be even good to teach kids about anatomy . And other subjects as well
Es fabuloso! Increíblemente bello todo lo que has creado! 🤗💗
That is incredible! I wish she was doing requests because I would most certainly buy some.
If you aren't rare I live under a rock. Beautiful!
Amazing technique and beautiful artwork.
Love this !
They look wonderful 😍
Your works are amazing. Love them all thank you for sharing your beautiful gorgeous story 👋👋👋👋👍👍💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Definitely mesmerizing.. Wow! ❤
Hermosísimo y delicado Arte!,Felicitaciones y gracias x compartirlo!
Abrazo grande desde Uruguay!
This is gorgeous and she's an incredible artist. Had hand is unique. I've never seen anything quite like it. This could revolutionise the fashion industry with seamless clothing. The only qualm I have if this was done in an industrial scale, what impact would contamination have. The soluble material may not be the problem, the chemicals from other materials used in the process would be if made in larger quantities with cheaper materials; like those in fast fashion. It could be harmless small scale, but on a grander scale it could be detrimental to the environment
It could be cool if they found a use for the contaminated water
How exquisite!!!! I would certainly purchase one her pieces!!! 🤩
That's absolutely fantastic!🤩😍👏
Beautiful!!!!
Just amazing,to say the least!wow!
So beautiful. I love these
Lovely. Stunning.
I saw some of the clips over on Instagram a few days ago! Cool to learn more about the person behind it!
This is absolutely stunning 🤩
Amazing 💙 beautiful ❤ I absolutely LOVE tdd he techniques and creativity!!❤❤❤
So creative work!!
It's really beautiful and creative 👍 I have not seen such things in my life .
Wow absolutely beautiful designs.
Holy Crap! This is freaking amazing! The concept is so simple, but her skill is at level "natural virtuoso" , lol.
What a talented lady she is.
Incredible work!!
I've never heard of this. How interesting!
I appreciate her work👌🏻
