I started by finding an old fashion illustration, which I can print off to then embroider into.
This is the vogue cover from the 1909, December 11th issue, which I decided to use for my second embroidered illustration.
Prior to creating my embroidery into an old illustration, I decided to look at the key features of Maurizio Anzeri’s work to help me with my piece created in a similar style to Maurizio. Here’s a link to my research blog Maurizio Anzeri Research.
I was planning to embroider into several old photos in the style of Maurizio Anzeri, however the one I did below took a little while to complete so I decided to stick with just the one embroidery into imagery.
Below is a few step by step images of how I created my piece.
Here is my final embroidery into imagrey inspired by the work of Marizio Anzeri.
To create it in a similar style I decided to focus on the key features of Marizio Anzeri work. So I used an old illustration and 5 green embroidery threads all with slightly different tones. I also focused on a key feature of the illustration, which I decided to be the ballerinas tutu skirt and embroidery into that.
I am very pleased with the final outcome of my embroidery into an illustration, the only downside to this particular type of illustration is that hand embroidery is very time consuming.
