'Drawing the line'

Debbie Smyth's threadworks walk a tight line between drawing, 

textiles, craft and art, attracting fans and commissions along the way.

Smyth uses ordinary pins and thread to 'draw' large-scale graphic scenes, mainly of 

urban and industrial landscapes. The drawing is actually a series of lines, plotted 

with pins and then outlined and exaggerated in black thread.

This picture below was found in 'Embroidery' magazine september 2010 issue in the college library. I spotted it on the shelf and thought what a really creative and interesting way of using thread what a great idea for our display. As a group we agreed and thought this would look really quirky and eye-catching at the clothes show live event.  

Here is our groups attempt for out display. I was thinking this would look great on the back wall in large font also maybe playing about with the large stencil font too to see what looks most interesting and quirky as a logo.
