Whether man-made or naturally occurring, pattern suggests rhythm, repetition, and energy that have the power to move our eyes, stir our emotions, and tell stories that go far beyond the surface.

In this episode, learn how to invest in the aesthetics of patterns to create beauty, harmony, and visual rhythms in your designs, providing a sense of order and structure that can help make designs more understandable and meaningful.

Contrast creates visual interest, emphasis and clarity in a design that can guide the viewer's eye, separate information, and make certain parts of the design stand out from everything else. It can make your work pop, sparkle and sizzle, creating the difference between nice and wow.

Join me as I explore ways to add contrast to your embroidery art, offering current embroidery artists for you to research.

Contrast can transform your work from the ordinary into the extraordinary.
