Module 3 of my City & Guilds course was counted work embroidery. As with module 1, some of our samples were based on designs we created using a famous artist for inspiration. In this module I chose Paul Klee.

The techniques covered in this module were cross stitch, blackwork, Hardanger and drawn thread work. I was a bit scared of Hardanger at first (because of the need to snip into your work) but I really loved creating the sample for this technique. I was helped along by a book on Hardanger embroidery my Mum found in a charity shop but this website also has a number of great tutorials.
