Missing samples and Assessed sample plan

I had forgotten to put two stitched images from Chapter 7 into my blog. 

First was the sample of thick and thin lines using the distorted image of my face. It looks a bit like a seahorse or a flying dragon! 

Th second that I forgot to put on the blog is the image of the deconstructed poppy head and compass points. 

Chapter 8 planning sheet

ITEM	PLANNING	EVALUATION
Design source	I intend to use four British ‘scapes’ to create a four-sided vessel. I will use both imagination and photographic sources for my design
Design elements
Colour	The colours that I use will not compete with each other but will be subtle and reflect the ‘scapes’ that they portray.
Line	The line within the sides of the vessel will reflect the components such as cliffs, buildings etc, so thick and thin, filled and voided as required
Shape and form	The shape will be rectangular and four-sided. Two of the sides will have vertical extensions, one above the main body of the work and one below. The sides will be joined to form a vessel and a base will complete the piece
Texture	The piece will have many textures as I will create buildings, water, fields, rocks, moorland, cliffs, sky, grass, flowers etc., and will create a 3D effect in some of the elements.
Composition	The piece will have four sides and a base. On the first side there will be representation of moorland where are small stream rises through the heath. A standing stone will represent the history of the land. The moorland will be created with couched snippets to represent gorse and bracken and heather and may contain a bird perhaps a pheasant. The second side will depict the essence of the countryside including hills and fields. A stream will run along the bottom of this side through the grass. At the front and in relief, there will be a field mouse, corn and a poppy. The third side there will represent a townscape including a church with a steeple which will extend outside and above the “box’ or the piece. A pigeon will be mid-air above the steeple. A small river will run under a bridge in this side of the work. And finally the fourth side, will create the feeling of limestone cliffs with fallen rocks at the base. A rocky beach with waves and ‘white horses’ will extend from the base of the ‘box’ horizontally to reflect the church steeple elevation on the opposite side of the piece. A seagull will fly above the cliff.
Quality	I intend for it to be very high quality!
Materials
Base/background	As the piece will be heavily stitched and incorporate many textiles and textures, Pelmet Vilene will be used as the main support but metal will be used certainly to support the church steeple
Fabrics	The lining will be silk in a subtle colour to prevent discordance with the work on the outside. I intend to use a large variety of fabrics representing the many elements within the piece
Threads	Threads will be from a broad collection. Thickness, colour, stitches and type, straight, free, pattern etc. will be appropriate to the element of the work being created
Other	Metals will be used in this piece, some heat-treated, some left in their natural state. Sprung wire the thickness of a hair will appear to suspend the birds in flights of fancy!
Construction
Size	No more than 24’ high (excluding steeple and water) x18’ wide (per side)
Edges	The piece will be joined probably by hand with complimentary stitching
Finishing	As above
Time	This complex piece is likely to take all my spare time so hopefully no more that four or five weeks to complete
Cost	I am hoping that all the elements will come from my stock of products
