Stitching and porcelain

I decided to try a few embroidery stitches from my Mum's book '100 Embroidery Stitches'.

I tried a stem stitch and a laced running stitch.

I then immersed the fabric into porcelain slip:

Once dry the fabric was fired to stoneware temperature. It survived the kiln but is very brittle and fragile. It has come out quite well and the stitches are evident though subtle when touched.

I think this is a nice way of working though I think that texture is achieved better through wrapping strips of fabric around a form. Food for thought though...
