CMYK embroidery

Evelin Kasikov is an artist and graphic designer working and living in London. We stumbled on her work via swissmiss and love love love it. Evelin describes here a little bit about her work of the CMYK embroidery pieces.

“CMYK embroidery is a hand-made printing process, based on computer generated halftone screens.

Images are halftoned according to conventional screen angles: Cyan 105, Magenta 75, Yellow 90 and Black 45. Dot screens are the transformed into cross-stitch screens, printed on paper and marked for embroidery. I use cotton threads in CMYK colours; the intensity of colour depends on the number of strands used. The final outcome is a printed page created by hand.”
