Flower Power Hand-Embroidery

My 1970's style hand-embroidery with graduated brightly colours, represent the true look to the 1970's retro patterns. I used different sewing techniques from French knot and Straight stitch. I design the surface pattern in a variety of scale of flowers from the inspiration
 in the 1970's. The background colour and the thread shows a contrast that I wanted to express both patterns to the 1970's flower power theme.

I like how Vivienne Westwood proud to show off her designs that are  powerful as she promtes punk as strong and unique style.
