Princengracht Amsterdam Canal Houses (Saskia Wassing)

This work is a stitched drawing made from sketches I did while visiting the historic centre of Amsterdam, with its beautiful tree lined canals and characterful houses. This view is a section of Princengracht. White linen and handmade paper layers are embroidered freely with blue threads using a basic domestic sewing machine as my drawing tool. Framed within a contemporary white wood 12”x 14” frame, ready to hang.
