More on Arabesques

On the right is the same shape as shown in a previous post but done in a striped fabric. On the left, a better arabesque using a space dyed orange, yellow and brown cotton fabric as base with red fabric applied and a space dyed thread, rather thick, sewn on as well. I do not think patterned fabrics should be used nor space dyed threads!!

Clearly more experimenting is needed. But I like this shape of arabesque.

What has become obvious is that I prefer clear-cut shapes rather than tufty textures. The arabesques are a bit difficult because they have some thin bits which are difficult to manage. And I am not good at applying thick threads using them in the bobbin and sewing from the back of the fabric.
