For this task I wanted to exhibit something which combined the two workshops I had been working in, 3D and machine embroidery. I began by drawing with graphite, making energetic and vigorous marks, I then stitched into these paper drawings and stained them with tea and coffee to reflect the colour of the fabric I planned on using.
Trying to make the most out of what I had learned in machine embroidery I stitched heavily onto paper, I chose the colour blue as many of the photographs I had take of my jewellery had blue beadsas part of them.
In 3D I had been focusing quite strongly on the dodecahedron shape, I wanted to try and actually assemble them into the circle shape they are meant to be. I did this with the fabric nets, however, when I put them properly together I found they did not look as interesting as they did when they were half formed, allowing the viewer to see inside the shape.
Once I had completed these three parts of my piece I connceted them together with white thread so they would be able to hang against the wall. Having put my piece up I am happey with how it looks, I think each part reflects a different part of my project showing my strengths and new tecchniques I have learnt.
