For this piece I had incorporated a few of my samples into this embellishment. I’ve attempted to express more colour by creating an ombre effect with watercolours on the cuffs and collar.
I thought about adding an extra feature using embroidery thread that’s overhanging the cuffs, this was a similar approach to a mixed media piece that I’ve previously created.
These are a series of embroidery and stitch samples, experimenting with different stitches and colours.
These patterns are influenced by my paintings and collages and using a variety of stitches including: runnings stitches, back stitches, stem stitches, cross stitches, blanket stitches etc.
I’ve also incorporated other fabrics such as recycled denim, t- shirts, paper, felt and watercolour dyed fabric. I had a lot of enjoyment experimenting with fabrics and I like how they create a nice texture.
For this project my chosen words are based on 1950’s and citrus. For my colour scheme I’ll be using colours that relate to the theme including: orange, yellow, green and blue.
Here I’ve created a series of pattern ideas using a variety of media’s including: watercolour, pen, thread, paper collage, and embroidery.
I’ve really enjoyed experimenting with these materials and combining them together to create abstract pieces. Personally, I find that either embroidering or overlapping another piece of artwork really makes it interesting.
Here I’ve created two mood boards one by hand and the other digitally using canva. My theme for this project is based on two chosen words which are citrus and 1950’s. I intend on research on these particular words and gathering a variety of materials that relate to my colour scheme. I also plan to experiment with various techniques creating abstract and textured pieces.
These are just a few experimental embroidery pieces which I’ve incorporated ideas from my mood board. I’ve included a variety of stitches creating different patterns and textures.
These are a series of timed sketches based on a mannequin that involves different types of materials. I’ve also looked at creating drawings based on the fabric itself, where I’ve roughly sketched the outline and created my own pattern/design.
