Loop le loup

 

I am on a strangely compulsive roll of making textile illustrations of Little Red Riding Hood. 

This latest piece is large and the wolf is made wild with loop stitch. It is covered with the puckers of sashiko stitches and a single flower button indicates the wildness in his eyes. 

Weaving a wolf

 

I have had a weaving stitch saved as a desired wolf effect and so probably a month ago started this piece, embroidery takes time and this was the fur of the beast. 

Well I am so happy with him and he seems happy and his hitch-hiking Little Red has a smile to! well worth the wait and the search for the tiniest scrap of vintage fabric (I knew it was there somewhere) which provided the flowers.

Two images by Katherine Lodge whose works are very biological like cells or nervous systems, these two reminded me of Little red with their criss crossing paths,
