About Me

I am a textiles surface designer with a great understanding of its function and application. I specialise in hand embroidery, embellishment and in prints for fashion. I am a passionate, experimental, and am unafraid to take risks or to push boundaries with my work. Because of this, I am the kind of person suited to the fashion industry which has ever changing rules, challenges and expectations. All images and text are copyright to Stacie Charlton.

These are from the same collection of images as the embroidery below, this my my first real attempt at screen printing and I was really happy that my prints were chosen and selected to be exhibited at the Indigo trade show in Paris.










From the previous drawings, these are my embroidery samples (in different stages). I used stitch and applique , the similar to the way I drew to build up layers to create colour and texture.

1st Year Drawing Sheets







These drawings were created using layers of mixed media, i used pencils, pens and paints with dyes, watercolours and crayons to create a resisting technique and then reworked into that overlapping with paint.

hello!

I have not updated this for quite a few months, but I have decided to try and keep it a regular thing!
Im a few weeks into my Minor Project now so I might be backtracking and uploading images from my second year before im updating with current things.
