The next technique that we tried was batik on fabric. I seemed to struggle a bit with this. Everything has to be planned out and I couldn't seem to cope with that. However, this is one of the pieces that I did. It is based on the chives and is done on cotton fabric stretched in a large embroidery hoop. I have embellished the flower heads with straight stitches in groups of three to try and re-create the shapes found on the real flowers.
