STAGE 4 - Raised and Structured Surface Textures


What have you Achieved?

I prefer working with stitch on fabric than manipulating the fabric into different shapes. I enjoy seeing the contrast of colours made by stitches rather than making a shape but I am looking forward to working on the next stage and to try to incorporate different colours and shapes into one piece of work.

The final results were very different to the drawings but i find it interesting how you can develop one idea to another without actually noticing. The fabric manipulation totally took over and dictated the final result.

I would have prefered to play directly with cut shapes and material in different colours like I said before.

I would like to pursue working with stich in more depth - I do not find it limiting at all.

I prefer to make texture by sewing things on to fabric like beads, trimmings, etc. which I want to explore now!
