ARTIST 1. FRANCOISE TELLIER LOUMAGNE
FRANCOISE TELLIER LOUMAGNE PICTURE GALLERY
IMAGE 8.
To demonstrate her working method of using a number of techiniques to accomplish a particular feature , this is my sample of a flower head worked in beads, French knots and Turkey knots cut and brushed.
The next two images demonstrate two of her contrasting styles of working. The first being a monochrome collection of grasses and shadows while the second is dense ' needle painting' in vibrant colours.
The first image shows her sample ofpebbles on a beach worked in soluble fabric, cut back to reveal holes etc. Pebbles are padded and worked in chenille . The second image demonstrates her method of using knitting to achieve a variety of colours and textures of pebbles.
All show different methods of achieving patterns of raindrops in either embroidery on solluble fabrics, transparent layers of net et and , finally, in felting, over stitched with embroidery threads

SAMPLE OF HER TRADITIONAL GOLDWORK Exeter Cathedral
It is perhaps possible to see in this sample , in contrast with the latest work above, the progression in design and working methods over a long career.
I chose this artist to give some direct comparisons between the work of two ecclesiastical specialists.
JACQUIE BINNS GALLERY

IMAGE 34 THE SEASONAL ALTAR FRONTALS
IMAGES 35-4O THE ARCHANGEL SET
In considering the differing techniques and materials of the three artists it is possible to make direct comparisons. For Francoise expression and movement take precedence over fine stitch work while for Jane Lemon a mastery of stitch detail is paramount. Jacquie Binns has highly developed fine art skills and uses figurative, impressionistic and abstract designs. Francoise Tellier Looumagne perhaps uses the greatest range of materials , including ultra modern and recycled materials while the other tow artists tend to specialise in more traditiona, high value products. Similarly, Francoise reworks the same themes in a number of different techniques--- embroidery, felting and knitting, while the other two artists tend to stay within the embroidery specialism. Jane Lemon's work demonstrates a comprehensive knowledge of materials and their historical perspectives and both her work and that of Jacquie Binns is underpinned by a wide research base , especially in aspects of the Liturgy. The table below shows other points of comparison.
