Brother Rabbit is an exciting project if you have some prior experience with Raised Embroidery and are looking for something slightly more challenging to further develop your skills.
The idea for my Brother Rabbit design was largely inspired by the ‘Brer Rabbit’ pattern by William Morris. I was curious to see how my Brother Rabbit would look if nestled under shady leaves and fantastical flowers similar to those found in my crewel work, only embroidered using raised embroidery techniques.
Brother Rabbit is embroidered using softly shaded stranded silk threads onto a ground of pale blue-grey silk fabric. The rabbit is heavily padded and stitched in multiple sections to create the highly raised effect.
The flowers, leaves and berries are created using a wide selection of raised embroidery techniques such as wired shapes, needlelace and other dimensional embroidery stitches, embroidered slips, numerous ways of applying padding. The detailed instructions and diagrams will help guide you step by step through the project.
I hope you will get as much pleasure embroidering your Brother Rabbit as I did.
Happy Stitching, Anna
