Page 1 Further planning work

Following the receipt of my feedback I have continued to develop the samples to be used in the final design.


I have developed sample d on page 6 of my previous submission. In the sample below, in some of the cut out areas I have used small pieces of either navy or sky blue silk twin needled without the sewing hoop so it becomes distorted and gathered. Using bonding powder these have been stuck behind the machined piece. Unfortunately some of the loose bonding power stuck to the front of the sample. In view of this next time I am intending on using bonding paper. I have then burnt through in lines using the soldering iron. I like the overall effect.



As the sky blue colour in the design is covering large areas I wanted to create more interest with the stitching and textures. In the example below I have combined the stitching used in samples a) and c) of page 5 of my previous submission. This has worked very well - the lines of the straight whip stitch reflect the twin needled cut out areas - creating the illusion of erosion and netted/webbed areas.
