Hinke Schreuders start off with an old vintage photography and illustration of models doing fashions fro the 1950s, Amsterdam-based

Hinke Schreuders begin with a vintage photography and illustrations of models sporting fashion from the 1950s. She put rich layer of hand-stitched embroidery, beading,, lace and flourishes of ink to the whole new images which can be unsettling and enthusiasm. This is one of her images of a part ongoing series called 'work on paper' which started in 2008. Schreuders said that, “subtly confuse notions of feminine vulnerability and reinforce the position of embroidery as an artistic medium,”

Another use of thick lines making the circular and half moon shapes appear bold, and strong. Also the artists have played around with scales. Schreuders had made some circles look large the rest small, the reason for this is because she wanted all the design to fit on the photo. having so many shapes moving in different direction in stitches, creating movement with so much defined details inside the shapes make the whole piece to look quite busy. But result of this piece is very fascinating although you can not see very much of the model's features and quite elegant. The colours are subtle, they stand out really well against the dark background.

Looking closer at this piece I just realized that the circles are all in the shape of daisy flowers, giving the the woman a very femininity appearance.

         Comprise.

Scheduers and Stacy Page are both uses old photographs and are textile artists. In this piece of artwork I got of Scheduers looks flowery, pretty along with limited and muted colours while Stacy Page work I got contains combination of muted and vivid colours. 

Both artists have thick and thin lines stitches. Page has curved bold lines in her work I got while Schreuders has whole and half circles filling the vintage image.
