Throughout the course, books have been recommended and wherever I have been able to afford to purchase them, I have. I now have a wonderful library which I can use into the future. Some will be re-visited frequently, some less often. </div>

There are too many to list individually but I have made a spreadsheet of my library and whenever a new book is recommended I search my spreadsheet to ensure that I don't already have it. This has happened twice so I am trying to avoid a repeat.</div>

I have over the last 20 months visited shows at the NEC and West Point where I have gained inspiration from so many textile artists. Exhibitions have been attended at the V&A, the Holbourne Museum, The Costume Museum in Bath, The Textile Museum in London and Art Trails around the area focusing on textiles. </div>

I use the internet a lot, looking perhaps for a fabric, product or thread that I need and get quickly drawn to looking at peoples' work. I am an online member of Workshop on the Web, Be Creatively and Distant Stitch members' sites. I read recommended peoples' blogs and visit inspirational sites including Pinterest. </div>

</ol>
<li style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0px;">Have expectations been met? I wanted to learn machine embroidery skills as before I started I had been to a workshop and stitch a complex piece which made me realise that I had none of the underpinning skills, so looked for a suitable course. This course has given me those skills and so much more. I look more closely at textiles and designs, the natural and made world and see things more differently than before. </li>
<li style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0px;">Three samples from the course that I like most are very difficult to choose as throughout the course I have enjoyed and loved and then moved forward and created another that gave me a similar feeling but if I have to choose then - 1) the quilted bunch of grapes because I achieved texture and tone using a range of techniques, fabrics and threads. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<ol><ol>
<li style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0px;">Module 4 Chapter 6 on rubbings were disappointing and if I am to use these again in future, I should practice the technique more thoroughly - so not one sample but all the rubbings, particularly wax over card shapes were not successful</li>
<li style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0px;">Module 3 Chapter 8 assessed sample 'This sceptre'd isle' was much an immature sample inasmuch as I had not learnt techniques to make this sample (which was at the time quite intense for me to make) into a well-created piece of machine embroidery. If I was to make this type of sample again, I would use more free and creative techniques that I have learnt since making that sample.</li>
<li style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0px;">Module 2 Chapter 2 - transfer painting. I seemed unable to produce subtle colour when heat transferring paint to man-made fabrics. Ways to improve this are several. Try harder to find subtler shades to transfer or use different fabrics - acetate satin seems to hold the bright colour more than synthetic chiffon and cotton which I have done since. I have also found that if I paint the background that I want, then I can print or photocopy onto printable fabrics which works.</li>

My tutor, Janet Crowther has been an amazing mentor and guide, and a support if I wobbled, encouraging when things weren't so good and it was such a joy when she wrote 'brilliant' on feedback. That really made me want to do well. </div>

I would encourage anyone to take this course, the learning opportunities are a real kickstart to further stitching. I will miss doing the work.</div>

<u>Sampling.</u><br />
<u><br /></u>
I have taken photographs of my notebook to show where my ideas were recorded, either used, modified or dismissed.<br />
<br />
There are also some sketches, some scribbles to record ideas or measurements.<br />
<br />
Intermingled with these are some of the developments towards the final piece, so for instance, the fabric that I intended to use for each of the pieces of luggage; the paper pattern which was shaped to determine that it could be used for the texture of the fabrics.<br />
<br />
There are images of the fabrics in the development stage and once developed<br />
<br />

The hanging idea was dismissed and a container or support holding a range of 3D boxes/luggage will be developed using a range of techniques, stitches, textures and finishes.<br />
<br />
<b>Research</b><br />
A photograph of a luggage trolley in Calcutta station provided inspiration for the final sample - lots of boxes (luggage) with a small variety of shapes, colours and sizes were neatly stacked on a fairly rickety trolley and held stable with a ‘bungee’ <br />

<br />
A group of us were travelling by from Calcutta to Bubaneshwar in the Bay of Bengal area. Only soft luggage was permitted.<br />
<br />
Magazines and observations have been used to consider what shapes the luggage pieces might me. Some of the possible fabrics and textures would speak for themselves. e.g. leather would suggest a brief case.<br />
<br />
<u>The piece</u><br />
This piece will be developed using as broad a range of techniques and stitches learnt during the course work. So, the bases for the stitching will also be from as broad a range as can be stitched and shaped into 3D structures.<br />
<br />
A range of bases<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>silk, water soluble, organza, calico, cotton, metals, wine bottle collars <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> wood, paper etc<br />
A range of threads <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>thick and thin, metal, wool etc.<br />
A range of stitching <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>cable, granite, long and short, free and automatic stitching, fringing, <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> faux chenille<br />
A range of structures /shapes<br />
A range of embellishments<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Gilding, metallics etc<br />
A range of techniques<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>quilting, soldering, burning, water soluble, supported and<br />
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> unsupported<br />
A containing structure<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>decorated in a range of techniques to hold the other 3D elements<br />
<br />
<u>The design</u><br />
Each of the 3D ‘pieces of luggage’ will be designed using a shape that works with the material based on a paper pattern for each previously modelled. The relationship between each piece will be that they are in principle containers that may be able to be opened, are open or are a closed piece.<br />
<br />
<u>Planning</u><br />
I am going to make a luggage trolley which will carry 14 pieces of ‘luggage’ all of which will be created using a range of materials and techniques<br />
<br />
<u>Design elements</u><br />
Colour<br />
Each piece will be able to stand alone, some will be mono-tonal and some brightly coloured using the fabric and stitch to create the visual impact. Collectively they will provide an interesting journey in themselves to explore each piece individually or together.<br />
<br />
Line<br />
Each piece will follow either simple or complex line form using a range of stitch techniques and thread thicknesses and materials.<br />
<br />
Shape and form<br />
Each piece will have it’s own shape and form. Some will be complex and some uncomplicated - where an interior finish is needed to create an overall impression it will be included. Some of the pieces will not require an interior finish.<br />
<br />
Texture<br />
Each piece will have its own visual texture. Some will be simple and some more complex dependent on the material base and stitch/embellishment finishes. There will be a range of textures; cold and sharp stitched metals, soft chenille and cable stitched; hard and rough wood and some more delicate and pretty.<br />
<br />
Composition<br />
The pieces will be brought together to form a bold, bright, complex whole. Colour, form and texture will take the viewer’s eye around and into the construction with a range of focal points.<br />
<br />
Quality<br />
The piece will be interesting and appear to look robust and heavy, whilst in fact each element will in itself be a hollow box, so light and in some samples, quite fragile.<br />
<br />
Materials<br />
This final sample will use as many materials as can practically be used to create the pieces of luggage and the trolley as can be worked on the machine - some will need hand finishing.<br />
<br />
It is the intention to use a broad and diverse range of materials, natural and man-made to complete elements of the sample.<br />
<br />
Background/base<br />
The base of each of the samples will be determined for the materials to be used for each, however the support for all the boxes will be a ‘luggage trolley’ using a wooden bread tray which will be cut to shape, handles, wheels and supports added and embellished with stitched fabrics, tassels etc to bring the piece into place - the place was India - so the trolley will reflect that<br />
<br />
Fabrics<br />
Metal and wood, silk, organza, silk rods, metal mesh, gilding, leather and other more basic fabrics such as cottons and calico will be used<br />
<br />
Threads<br />
A broad range of threads will be used for the range of boxes and the trolley. Thick cords, metal cords and wool for cable stitch, glove thread for leather and texture, metallics will be used widely and 40s used for some stitching. Matt and shiny threads will be used where appropriate.<br />
<br />
Construction<br />
<br />
Size<br />
Each smaller piece will be appropriate to the supporting trolley and the overall piece approximately 10” x 6” x 6”.<br />
<br />
Stitches<br />
Free, automatic, cable, granite, long and short holes without thread in metal and as much innovation will be employed in the pieces that constitute the whole.<br />
<br />
Edges<br />
Each box will need to be edged to form the flat material - different techniques will be used as required<br />
<br />
Finishing<br />
Each box will require it’s own finish, so handles, loops, paper buttons, and catches will be developed for each piece. Some will be lidded boxes without a finishing catch or handle. Most will have a finishing element. All with have destination labels. The destination is ‘home’ so LHR.<br />

<br />
<u>Sinamay</u><br />
<br />
I had some natural coloured real Sinamay and some navy hat fabric that I got from deconstructing a fascinator that had started to fall apart anyway. The fascinator fabric was synthetic - a sort of nylon and whilst I had managed to iron it flat under baking sheet, it started to fall apart when I was stitching it. I carried on and persevered.<br />
<br />
Using the structure of Lloyd Wright's Falling Water, I made a piece that referenced the dark and light of the building. The natural Sinamay was stitched with zigzagged thread in a similar colour and the darker Sinamay, stitched in straight lines with thick perle cotton in the bobbin to create some texture.The different areas of light and shade were then folded on each other and held with pins, then held over the steam of the kettle and not unpinned until dry and the fabric cooled to set it's new shape.<br />

The Gaudi piece was made to represent one of the chimneys. A fan shape was cut in paper and then transferred to the natural Sinamy. Alternate radial shapes were stitched to represent the shade of the piece and then it was held again with pins and steamed, dried and unpinned when set.<br />

<u>Moulding felt</u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<u><br /></u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I had used moulding felt for the McQueen shoes and felt more confident using the product. It is workable and much more mouldable that Sinamy was. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So using another of the Gaudi chimneys as a source image, I stitched the shadows from the drawing onto the felt and stitched a seam, wetting and turning the felt to the right side. Then bulldog clips were used to create the shapes of the chimney and the fabric was left to dry on the windowsill in sunlight. </div>

I hope to use Paverpol on organza for the Warminster Jewel rock crystal and wanted to see how it works, so chose organza to make a piece based on the shapes in the art deco Lloyd Wright windows. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Three layers of organza were stitched together with satin stitch using the triangular shape of the glass of the windows</div>

Then to make something different from a straightforward representation, three triangles were stitched together to form a 3D sample. This was then steeped in Paverpol , the majority of the excess removed and then dried. Some of the residue dried a bit white, but gradually it became clear.</div>

For the Gaudi sample, I used the mosaic image with small elements extending from the main structure. Several layers of fabric were stitched together, some felt, transfer painted satin and scrim. Little circles were stitched to represent the mosaics. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
5p pieces were inserted and tied from the outside into the inside of the fabric to create the little extended elements. The piece was then immersed in Paverpol and the excess removed, then a polystyrene ball was placed on top of an upturned tub and some thread tied around the base of the ball. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

The piece was then dried in sunlight, the 5p pieces removed (not without some difficulty) and the thread removed where possible. </div>

I wasn't sure that I had the correct fabrics, so I tried to heat set using both silk and polyesters that I had already. I used a piece of silk that I had been doing some silk painting and stitching and a piece of transfer painted polyester. Marbles were inserted into each, tied and steamed. When the marbles were cooled and removed, the bumps did not seem as sturdy as those in the chapter. I was quite sure that they would iron flat again.</div>

I have used water soluble support several times before and used the tiles on the roof of one of Gaudi's Casas to make a representative sample. Variegated thread was used on the top and plain thread on the bottom and tile shapes created. These were then cut away from the main part of the water soluble fabric and most of the fabric washed away. The sample was then dried over pencils and removed. </div>

Tyvek - Gaudi<br />
<br />
I decided to make another of the little mosaic pieces but this time with Tyvek. I used some spray fabric paints and stencils with several colours to colour the Tyvek, then drew little dots to depict the mosaic with Sharpie pens.<br />
<br />
Then little areas of stitch were added. This material did not need to be stabilised to stitch. Little diamond shapes were inserted into pockets of Tyvek on the back and the the piece was supported and heated with a heat gun to shrink it. I let the heat do the job keeping control by moving into specific areas.<br />

<b><u><br /></u></b>
I am very lucky that I have visited Barcelona and have seen a lot of Gaudi's wonderful architecture. I haven't seen any of Franck Lloyd Wright's buildings in the USA, although I have seen his work before and my uncle, an architect was a huge fan of Wrights and designed in a similar albeit, smaller style<br />
<br />
<u>Images and drawings of Gaudi's work - Antoni Gaudi, born 1852, died 1926, Spain</u><br />
<br />
I have chosen few examples of the extensive work of Gaudi from both the city and Guell Park on the edge of the city.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
The shape, which I think is a chimney, defines the quirkiness of this organic building. Saudi clearly does not like straight lines and apart from the windows, all is curvy. The building is the Casa Battlo in Barcelona. It is a bit Disneyesque and does make we wonder if as well as using Neuschwanstein Castles for the Disney Castle inspiration, Walt Disney did not also get some of his influences from the flowing lines of Gaudi's work. This shape is likely to be used as a free standing sample of his work, stiffened to maintain its shape. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
These shapes are almost like the scales of an Armadillo and given the influence that McQueen has had on my thinking, I see these regular, repetitive elements from the roof tiles used widely in Gaudi's work, reflecting both his and McQueen's love of nature. Layers of these tiles might be used to create a small reptile-like sample, perhaps a bag. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
The left-hand image is interesting, taken from the eccentric flowing window shapes of the Casa Battlo. They are quite beautiful and the floral elements contained within the glass, remind me of Charle Rennie McIntosh both he and Gaudi using the arts around their times, Arts and Crafts and Art Deco/Noveau - possible influences on their work. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The right hand image is of little protuberances held within a ceramic mosaic which makes me think of the seaside, shells and limpets, but the delicacy of this work might inspire felting with colour splashes and the protuberances made by encasing marbles or floral glass beads to create the fabric distortion.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
The right hand images from the Casa Mila are almost reflective of Asian or North African monuments and may have had a influence on Gaudi. The right hand of the two in the right hand photograph has geometric hollows and creates lovely shadows which would change with the sun's direction. Almost religious in nature, the image in the bottom right drawing will be made with one of the supportive mouldable fabrics. I think that the roundness of Gaudi's piece asks for soft shapes in fabric. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Wright describes himself as someone who designs structures in harmony with humanity and its environment, a philosophy he called 'organic structure'. He designed more than 1000 structures, 532 of which were built. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I find Wright's building apart from the Guggenheim too angular too angular to be harmonic with nature, much preferring the work of Gaudi. Living later than Gaudi into the 20th century, Wright must have been more open to influence of the Art Deco movement and he has incorporated many windows in that style into his buildings. </div>

The Kraus House is interesting and whilst it is not to my liking, I recognise the skill of making it 'different'. The angularity of the windows will be used to make a sample based on my small sketch. As yet, I have not yet determined what it will be made from, but probably 2D</div>

The final sample of Wright's work will be 3D using the top element of the Art Deco window design to make 'glass' elements from stiffened reflective fabrics, joined together to create a free standing piece. </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I look forward to making the samples for this chapter. Whilst I do not find Wright's architecture nearly as pleasing, I can appreciate how he broke boundaries in design at his time. He in fact refused a sabbatical to Paris and Rome as he said that they lacked creativity. </div>

Lindsay Taylor is a textile maker and even as a child designed her own doll’s clothes. She took courses in pattern-cutting and embroidery and eventually set up her own business designing wedding dresses. </div>

Lindsay was elected as a member of the Society of Designer Craftsmen and is now a highly respected designer-maker whose work is exhibited in prestigious galleries throughout the UK. Her work continues to evolve and she draws inspiration from the natural environment where she lives on the Isle of Wight. </div>

From looking at Taylor’s work, she sometimes uses fabric and embroiders op top rather than always using water solubles as a basis for her work. She does say that she uses water-soluble fleece for some of her work. Taylor also enjoys using a soldering iron to distress her work where needed.</div>

Widowed early in life with a young family, she has made her way in the textile designer world and her book launch in 2013 ‘Embroidered Art’ ISBN 978-1-84448-778-3 is very descriptive of her work both in photography and textual description</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Free embroidered poppy</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In the embroidery world, Taylor is probably not breaking huge boundaries in her work although the chair - there was also a lampshade - is moving away from the usual. Her terrarium contained shoes, of which there are more examples turn what it usual free embroidery work into something more unusual. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Her materials are thread fabric and in the encased shoes, she is adding another dimension. She also encloses other elements into these glass cases to enhance her work. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The innovation is the addition of unexpected and unusual elements such as glass but also she makes more unusual pieces, particularly chair covers and lampshade. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Some of her pieces are quite representative, but as she runs her own business on a small island, it is likely that she keeps her more unusual, allegorical work, such as the glass encased shoes for exhibitions to show what is possible. There is, at a stretch some symbolism in her work. The decaying shoes may represent some women's need for shoes which seem to be hugely expensive and 'must have' items, but many are unwearable so sit in a wardrobe 'decaying'</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I took the poppy as the sample to create in her style and free embroidered the petals and leaf. The centre of the flower was overstitched in purple with free embroidery. Then the stem was made from zigzagged sari silk and the centre of the flower from velvet, folded in on itself and stitched by hand to hold it. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The back of the flower which becomes the seed pod when the flower dies was made from free embroidery as the petals and leaf, on water soluble fabric and then lots of stamens were made from thick cotton thread and the little end bits of the stamens, sorry no botanical name, were made by tying a knot at each end.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
The petals were joined with free embroidered stitch in the centre, then the stamens were placed in the centre with the velvet piece and stitched in. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The stem was fed through the funnel shaped 'pod' and attached to the back of the flower with hand stitching and the leaf hand stitched to the stem. </div>

<b><u><br /></u></b>
McQueen was born in Lewisham on 17th March 1969 and died in Mayfair on February 11th 2010 aged 40. He committed suicide after an amazing life of creativity and cutting edge design. His mother had recently died and he was very saddened at her loss.<br />
<br />
He was chief designer at Givenchy from 1996 to 2001 and founded his own fashion label. He was British Designer of the year in 1996, 1997, 2001 and 2003 and international designer of the year in 2003. Despite his success, he was a troubled man with drug misuse and sexual diversity issues.<br />
<br />
McQueen served as an apprentice in Savile Row learning the art of pattern cutting and tailoring both with top tailoring companies and then to creating theatrical costumes with Angels and Bermans. It is said that the skills that he learnt in tailoring enabled him to create and then deconstruct and reconstruct fashion and accessories in a new and exciting way.<br />
<br />
I chose Alexander (Lee) McQueen as one of my designer influences because he was so original. Like Vivienne Westwood but much more, in my opinion, talented and creative. He push the boundaries of what can be used to create fabric and clothing, albeit not particularly useful for daily wear for ordinary people, but exciting and innovative. I have visited the 2015 'Savage Beauty' exhibition at the V&A three times and intend to go at least twice more before the show ends on August 8th. I will be very sad when it finishes.<br />
<br />
His work makes me gasp at it's 'difference' and outside the box thinking. I hope that some rubs off when I go to the exhibition! My first sight of his 'box of curiosities' made me very emotional and when I took a friend as a guest, I made her close her eyes and let me lead her into the room and open her eyes again to experience the room as I had, utter amazement. Unfortunately, I lent my book on McQueen to the same friend and she has gone on holiday, so I have had to use the internet and some magazines for my photos of his work.<br />
<br />
McQueen breaks boundaries at all levels! Design, materials and innovative ideas. He was a tailor but must have used free machining in his work.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
McQueen used conventional fabrics, fur, shells, feathers, metals, bone, wood and so many more elements in his work. He was at the cutting edge of using digital imagery to create his fabrics, most recently in his 'Plato's Atlantis' show. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It is from this show, that I have chosen my sample to make. For the 'Plato's Atlantis' catwalk collection, McQueen designed his Armadillo boots. Impossible to walk in, Naomi Campbell apparently fell when walking in them; photos of the show, shows the models wearing them on the catwalk.</div>

McQueen's work is many things to many people; representational, symbolic and allegorical. His Widows of Culloden show represents the Highland clearances and reflects on his Scottish background. He was interested in uniforms and introduced braids and structure of military elements into his work. He used nature in his creations, feathers and shells used to construct clothing. Religion also influenced him as he used iconography in his designs. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
McQueen was interested in ornithology and many of his designs include nests, birds and feathers. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
His use of colour varies according to the themes he is creating. Wonderful tartans were designed, in fact he made the 'McQueen' tartan for the Culloden show. He rethinks ethnicity, taking national dress like kimonos and 'westernising' them whilst keeping the feel of the original. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The line texture and forms vary throughout his amazing range of work but his tailoring always shows through as the structures are always immaculate and there is, although they are strange and avant garde, no feeling of dis-structure as with punk and Westwood design whose backgrounds McQueen has come from and with. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The message that McQueen's work gives to me, perhaps not others, is that everything is possible; only lack of imagination can stop you; break boundaries; creativity is endless. He achieved this by imagining a huge range of creative themes, that make you gasp at the variety and innovation.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
His use of stitch incorporates classical tailoring, embroidery on dresses and stitched structures that are so complex, it is difficult to understand their structure - and you can't touch them or photograph/sketch them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have become fairly obsessed by McQueen's work and from such a huge range of possibilities had a problem working out what I could possibly do to show a sample of his work. I don't have an industrial machine but nevertheless, I thought that I could make an 'Armadillo' boot from fabric. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I haven't seen a boot made from feathers, so I thought that I would try and made something that represented his boots in fabric feathers. I drew the outline of the shape of a boot and cut it out in mouldable felt as a base for the feathers.</div>

Canvas feathers</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The rows of feathers were cut and the lower edge of the feathers cut out so that I had rows to stitch and overlap on the felt base. There was too much white exposed, so I painted over the edges of each feather, there were hundreds, to eliminate the white. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Now I understood why they were called 'Armadillo' although I have no idea how they were originally constructed! I used clips to hold the edges in with fabric glue.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
The front edge of the shoe seam was machine stitched and I used what I have seen cobblers doing, I used two hand needles and threads to stitch down the back seam with a button thread. As I had used mouldable felt, I dampened the piece to be able to turn it once the seams were made. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In the construction, I ran out of canvas and I needed to print more feathers. Unfortunately the print was slightly different in colour and so on one side of the boot, there is a colour variation which disappointed me, but I focused and reminded myself that this is a sample and that I should carry on.</div>

The sole and heel and the base of the shoe are all made from mouldable felt and stitched or glued, or both to hold the piece together. </div>

The completed boot. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Then, as I was so annoyed about the colour variation and because I felt that this was not particularly stitch oriented, I made another boot, this time printing using a tan coloured paper, onto which I printed all the feathers from the original paper copy onto printable silk and then stitched the rows of feathers with an outline of an automatic design in gold thread. A 'zip' was stitched using an automatic satin stitch and another automatic design to denote the teeth of the zip, between the lines of satin stitch</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The boot was constructed in a similar manner to the canvas sample, although this time, I could machine most of the work, the fabric being thinner and less stressful on my machine. The silk was less robust than the canvas, so I left the print backing attached on the inside of the fabric. To make the boot more stable in the upright position, it is weighted with tiny metal balls and stuffed with toy stuffing to give it shape that is achieved in the other sample by the weight of the canvas. </div>

I know that this was a completely mad undertaking, but I have really enjoyed making these boots. I would love to have had made a larger piece of clothing as a homage to McQueen, but realise that this is not the time to do that. Perhaps later.</div>

Val was born in Canada in 1932 and died in Southampton in 2006 aged 72. She trained at Goldsmith's Art College and was the author of 24 inspirational books based on embroidery and design. Val was at the cutting edge of the development of free machine and computerised machine embroidery. She collaborated closely with other makers and taught and exhibited widely across the UK and the wider world. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Val broke boundaries in stitch and design throughout her long career. She is spoken of with high regard by those who learned from her and worked with her. I regret not having known her.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The first sample of Val's work that I have used as an example of her work is a piece which was pushing the boundaries of the materials chosen in combination to make the piece. This is a panel made to show distortion by using dragged stitching in fine black thread on calico, builders' scrim, silk carrier rods, silk paper and woven strips of paper. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The colours are muted apart from the black background element and the vertical threads. It is made as a hanging. The message is unknown but in it I see downward movement of water or stone, but there seems to be a fluidity to it. The stitched silk carrier rods in the centre of the piece make me think of a barrier - a fence or dam in the flow downwards. </div>

Such a shame that this piece is in black and white but the image is representational and clearly a cabbage. Val describes this as a cabbage, printed onto fabric by painting the cut side (of the cabbage) with fabric paint and then pressing it onto a piece of silk. The fabric was then ironed to fix the paint. The embroidery was then worked in gold threads, couched flat, small areas of padded kid and string wrapped with fine gold thread couched over the top. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I would have loved to have seen this in colour but the stitching seems to speak for itself, showing texture, depth and height. The stitched line directions show the pattern of the cabbage well. I have seen people use vegetables for printing, a technique that I will try myself in time.</div>

Here Val has used a drawing of a Mexican carving and made different sized images of the same drawing incorporating the smaller into the larger images and stitching them differently to develop an interesting design. She has quilted the larger face and stitched the smaller using high relief couching with gold threads. The edge of the piece is developed with patchwork. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What is interesting about this piece is the use of several techniques to create a image that denotes power, perhaps wealth because to the use of gold. It is a strong figurative piece.</div>

I chose to use this piece as a sample because of the strong Celtic design and the use of metal, leather and 'conventional' fabrics. Here the vessel (laid flat for photography) is made from transparent fabrics, sandwiched between Wireform and stitched with automatic patterns, then cut and edged with leather thongs and interwoven. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am drawn to the use of metals and enjoy using metallic threads as well as metal gauze fabrics to produce flexibility, movement and snap into a piece. This piece is symbolic, complex but appears simple and clean and the lack of complication in the look of the work could enable it to be considered meditative like a mandala or similarly repetitive image.</div>

Val's sample is made to show that the change of direction and pattern in metallic threads can give an exiting edge to solid machining such as with a basket stitched design. Whilst Val suggests that colours don't need to be changed to create a change in tone, I made a little bag using a range of colours to see what happens with each. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The use of colour, direction and line creates the tonal change within this 'practical' piece - free embroidery has been used and it is the simplicity of stitch combined with the richness of the metal threads that changes what could be quite dull using normal threads to a bag that sings. Automatic patterns could also create interesting shapes done in small squares. Another one to try later!</div>

I used black felt as a base and used first gold, then silver, then variegated silver, then variegated gold and back through to the last set of three rows being gold again. I used some of the stitch ideas that Val had suggested. The felt was then trimmed and folded right sides together and a seam made. The bag was turned and the top edge folded in and edged with an automatic stitch. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Strips of black felt left from the bag leftovers were stitched in zigzag three times in gold thread, knotted and attached to the bag. A slightly wider strip of black felt was stitched again with gold in an automatic stitch through it's length and then each side was edged as for the top of the bag. This was then attached to the sides of the bag to create a handle. My phone and lipstick will fit. It is 5" deep and 4.5" wide.</div>

<u>Italian Quilting</u><br />
<u><br /></u>
Parallel lines. So I made my first attempt at corded quilting using two parallel lines stitched individually and then corded with wool and paper string. Using the shape that I did, made cording fairly simples as I could cord from the edge and bring the needle out at the middle of the piece. Not very exciting fabric, I'm afraid but I wanted to see what effect the cording had without the distraction of patterned fabric.<br />

The next sample was stitched with non-parallel lines and using the river path from the Inca Trail as an inspiration, some walnut ink dyed cotton was used, backed with cotton. Areas were granite stitched outside of the lines and the path was corded with silk tops and 2 thicknesses of curtain cord as the wider areas were more difficult to fill.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The next sample was to show Italian quilting focusing on line and colour. I decided to use the Union Flag as the source design an changed the red, white and blue for their opposites on the colour wheel, so green, yellow and black. A piece of black cotton was used as a base and stitched with an automatic pattern in a variegated thread. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A layer of organza was laid over the piece and the design of the flag stitched to this using silver thread to work with the silver organza. I thought then to burn away the organza between the arms of the crosses in the flag, but the corded areas were affected, so a second layer of organza was stitched over the top and held with an automatic stitch the same as the base layer. The arms of the crosses were corded with wool tops and DMC.</div>

Drawing for Pattern with trapunto quilting</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Silk fabric was used throughout. Appliqués were cut and attached to to the base layer with Bondaweb and some stitching designs added - circles to reflect the 'eye' and feather automatic stitches to suggest flight. Areas were then outlined with stitch where the fabric would be stuffed. Polyester filling was used to fill the spaces. The repeated patterns of the blades and centres of the Paris Eye were stitched with contrasting colours.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A backing layer of cotton was added and the areas to be filled were cut, filled and stitched closed again. That makes it sound so simple!</div>

Trapunto quilting, where the depth of the padded areas varies.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I used the engine of a motor bike that I was taken on for a fast ride by the British Legion Riders Branch last year who were fund-raising for the Poppy Appeal. They keep their bikes immaculately clean. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Then I drew some of the elements of the engine and using the suggested technique, dragged it through the photocopier when copying to distort the image. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Then I selected ares to stitch by re-drawing</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I used a space dyed cotton and backed it with cotton. Appliqués were cut to highlight some of the 'engine' parts and two eyelets were stitched and cut through. Elements between the areas that were to be filled were stitched with granite stitch in my new Somac 'bomb-proof' silver thread and the surrounds were stitched using the same thread for vermicelli. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The appliquéd areas were padded densely with polyester stuffing and the other padded areas, medium and softer. This doesn't show too well in the photograph but I think that it now looks like giant squids!</div>

Using a piece of drawing software on my iPad, I made a sketch of a few grapes and added some tones in 'virtual watercolour'. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Software sketch of grapes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I printed the sketch onto printable silk and used a space dyed complementary felt as a stabiliser. Then the grapes were outline stitched and a vine leaf added using an image on the internet. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The highlights of the grapes were either stitched or filled with wool top colours reflecting their lightness. Then the grapes were filled with wool tops using relevant colours. The leaf was stitched and again padded with wool tops to give the leaf shape. the silk and felt layers were cut away close to the edge of the stitching and an automatic stitch was used to stop the piece from fraying.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
I enjoyed trapunto most from the three variations in this and the previous chapters. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I look forward to researching three designers for the next chapter. I had thought to use some of my favourite designers, but reading the instructions more attentively, realise that they were not known for machine embroidery in particular, so I will have to re-think my original proposals of Alexander McQueen, Grayson Perry and Kaffe Fassett. </div>

<b><u><br /></u></b>
I had never quilted before, or so I thought. But actually a lot of the learning so far has entailed elements of quilting without the formality of the three layers and stabilising stitching.<br />
<br />
3 Samples;<br />
<br />
<u>Sample 1 - flattened areas.</u><br />
<br />
I chose the photo of the Paris eye as the idea for the sample and made a plan for the stitching<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS3WZtqvNlY1WD5UTr6UPVFnpkS-JGxE9aB6h1vKV0qHsx6vtllTgZrZ3rwIvWokTY-6HVBSb2LTc-6zmwP4Vlp5ThVfEWwGUUD5TVViZkvpXbGMFab4ESLXjI0WYllrEfSyE-E82Tl5M/s1600/IMG_0945.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS3WZtqvNlY1WD5UTr6UPVFnpkS-JGxE9aB6h1vKV0qHsx6vtllTgZrZ3rwIvWokTY-6HVBSb2LTc-6zmwP4Vlp5ThVfEWwGUUD5TVViZkvpXbGMFab4ESLXjI0WYllrEfSyE-E82Tl5M/s400/IMG_0945.jpg" width="272" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And then stitched on a slightly patterned fabric and colours that complimented the top.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sample 1</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Plain cotton was used as a base and synthetic thick wadding between that and the top fabric. The three layers were stitched to hold them together for stitching as instructed, from the centre to the corners and to each side. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A variegated brown thread was used for granite stitching in the little circles and green variegated thread for the diamonds which were stitched in straight stitching in differing directions to create interest. Then the lines and externals circles were stitched with a bright yellow ad the two lozenge type shapes in bright red thread to take the eye both in and away from the larger circle. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This has an art deco feel to me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u>Sample 2- Print and Stitch</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was a bit confused by the instruction for this sample until I saw that the GWR element was a block print!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I decided to use elements of the four day trek to Machu Picchu which I did in 2011 - a photo of the route is one of those in Chapter one resources. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I made a block print (actually a linocut of the symbol used to depict Inca ruins on the map. The top fabric was cotton crushed and dyed with Walnut ink. The result looked mountainous, so it was relevant for the sample. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Between the top layer and a cotton base layer, I used the same synthetic wadding and stitched to secure the sample prior to stitching. The piece was block printed with the linocut and gold acrylic paint. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The river was simply stitched with the rail track running alongside and the walk path in lighter stitching starting alongside the river running vertically to the left and ending at the last block which might denote Machu Picchu. The piece was quilted with stepped stitching with reference to the thousands of Inca steps that we had climbed upland down on the trek.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Tickets and images of artefacts found at the ruins were printed onto printable cotton, backed with Bondaweb and lightly ironed to the piece. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Using the cable stitch method and using a gold thread in the bobbin, I used the stitching lines at the back to highlight the blocks. As the gold behaved very well, I turned the piece over and used the gold on top to highlight other areas and hold the embellishments securely.</div>

<u>Sample 3 - a quilted face!</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u><br /></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have quite a collection of faces; I like Green Man but decided to do the self-portrait. Perhaps a mistake in retrospect. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I chose a photo taken recently and from far enough away not to show all the range map lines that have appeared on my face! I only added the really obvious ones - I do which that Botox didn't make such a mask of the face or I might consider having these done....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used a couple of pieces of calico and two layers of a woolly natural batting between. I admit to not having stitched this piece to secure as it is quite small and was going to have minimal quilting, so I felt that I could hold it taught with my hands. Back thread was used to stitch my very strange face.</div>

I did one more sample, this time using cotton base, synthetic wadding, space dyed muslin, cut up threads, silver paper and bits of synthetic organza as layers then using quilting principles starting at the middle and working outwards I used a tear/leaf like shape and stitched over the piece, adding little bits of detail here and there. Then the piece was worked on with a heat unto burn back to some of the layers </div>

<br />
My list about 'going places' is this;<br />
<br />
Places I've been?<br />
Wish I'd been to?<br />
In my thoughts, in my dreams?<br />
A journey real or imagined - the journey of a synapse in the brain responding to a stimulus. How would I stitch that?<br />
A map, a bus route, a walk, in the car, in my head?<br />
A good journey or a fearful one?<br />
A professional or a personal journey?<br />
A personal journey about family, children, births, deaths, marriages, sickness?<br />
<br />
Anywhere? Everywhere? Where?<br />
Peru, India Africa, USA, Canada, NZ, Bosnia, or holidays with family in Europe or in the UK?<br />
<br />
What?<br />
Labels and tickets<br />
Maps, postcards, stamps<br />
Or images of the places or images of things in places?<br />
<br />
Ways of travel?<br />
In the mind, on TV, reading, dreaming; by foot, rain, bus, underground, on an animal, being carried, on a stretcher or a trolley, in a wheelchair, plane rocket, bicycle, tandem, pram or pushchair, electric scooter, tank, boat, submarine, ferry yacht, life-raft, parachute, paraglider, jet ski, skis, skates, sledge and troika, skates and then coffin.<br />
<br />
I have journals from my many journeys and most of the tickets are stuck in them so difficult to photograph as a collective, so I have just chosen some that were loose.<br />

<u>The Past</u><br />
<br />
Having started on the research for this chapter, I was taken on a fascinating journey from the invention of the first sewing machines with Charles F. Wiesenthal's British Patent number 701 for a machine to facilitate embroidery, therefore not sewing seams but embroidering to the invention of the two-thread lockstitch invented in 1845 by Elias Howe. The internet is a great resource for digging deeper into the subject and I became very interested in the history of the development of many manufacturers machine, downloading images of instruction manuals. A couple of years ago, I bought an Essex machine on eBay and the manual was fragile, so I had downloaded the manual from the ismacs site before and found it fascinating.<br />
<br />
In the late 19th Century, Singer encouraged machine use and a seminal work on machine embroidery was produced in the 1930's by Dorothy Benson who was a teacher in the Singer workrooms. Her book Machine Embroidery ( The Artistic Possibilities of the Domestic Sewing Machine) is as useful today as it must have been inspiring when it was first printed. All the instruction is as relevant today as it was then. One of Bensons student was Rebecca Compton whose work is now in the V&A collections, her vision was to turn embroidery into a respected art form. She in turn taught Constance Howard. Howard went on to teach at Goldsmiths and become an inspiration for many future students.<br />
<br />
<u>The Present</u><br />
<br />
Jan Beaney, Jean Littlejohn took innovative embroidery forwards and some mixed media textile artists have formed groups of contemporary creators such as the 62 Group. Val Campbell-Harding founded the Computer Textile Design Group in 1996 and again moved the form forwards teaching many students who in turn developed their own ideas and innovations.<br />
<br />
Maggie Grey is a prolific creator and incorporates machine embroidery into her complex textile works. She has published a host of books instructing and inspiring aspiring textile artists to try new techniques.<br />
<br />
There are so many creative stitchers currently that the form seems to have freed up artistic talents in so many ways. Some create tight photorealistic images; some have used the needle to make portraits and some completely abstract - the opportunities seem endless.<br />
<br />
Continuing developments in sewing machines open new horizons to stitchers to create their own designs on computers and transfer these to the machine software which then interprets the design and stitches. I haven't had the opportunity, or the cash, to try one of these machines so I can't speak with any authority on what I think of them. I am sure that many will say as they have before, that like machine embroidery compared to hand embroidery, "it is the machine that's doing the work".<br />
<br />
One of the interesting things that I have found is how many men seem to now be more interested in machine work and stitching. Richard Box, Mr Finch, Mr X all seem to be at the forefront of male stitchers. At a recent Alexander McQueen exhibition at the V&A, I enjoyed closely examining the stitching detail on some of his designs. Machine embroidered, not by him, but inspired by him. Such a loss to the creative world.<br />
<br />
<br />
<u>The future?</u><br />
<u><br /></u>
With the continuing development of sewing machines, IT possibilities, fabric developments, other product developments, needle and thread technological advances and of course the artistic human brain, who knows what the future holds?<br />
<br />
It is interesting that many stitchers concentrate on one or two forms when there is a whole world of creativity out there with which to experiment. I think about the medieval stitchers sewing by candlelight and what they might have thought of where we are today.<br />
<br />
Like many art forms, some people say, "What's it for?" My unspoken reply is that it is for pleasure, expression, personal development, relaxation (seldom that), meditation and so much more - making is at the soul of our being, it always has been and I hope always will be.<br />

<b><u><br /></u></b>
As I had used grids several times during the course and intended to make one for the resolved sample in this chapter, I decided that I did not need to make a practice piece.<br />
<br />
Read through the chapter and using some of the embedding ideas, for mirrors, Paua shell and florists' glass, I decided to incorporate these into one piece.<br />
<br />
A square of printed pastel cotton with little circles was backed with Vilene and working from the bottom upwards, several layers of sheers and net were laid and the florists' pebbles in clear, blue and green were embedded below the second layer and stitched around to trap them. Three broken needles later, I stopped trying to get the stitching quite as close to the pebbles; the top of the pebbles kept catching as they are quite high and even without a foot on, interfered with the direction of sticthc.<br />
<br />
Another two layers of sheers were added and the paua shell embedded between to the top and second layer and then staying with the base layer and adding some net, the shish mirrors were attached stitching around the edge of each by machine.<br />
<br />
The all the covering layers were cut of burnt back and the mirrors hand-shish'd. One of the paua shells wanted to escape so this was held down with a stitch around the body of the shell. The whole piece was stitched won at the time of embedded the inserts and then glass beads were stitched onto then sample each toning with the colour of the area they crossed.<br />

I searched for mica to embed but couldn't find it. I have used it before in this module and hope that my use of it for that sample suffices. I agree that it splits and splinters when stitched and I doubt that I kept the little pieces that had. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
I had some acetate for computer printing and decided that I should get the same result from this as from anything specifically for craft. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Interference paints and a couple of metallics were distributed on an A4 piece of acetate. Keeping with the 'Starry Night' theme, I spread the paint to represent swirls as in Van Gogh's skies. A base of random dyed felt was used. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Using cable stitch with a gold cord in the bobbin and a blue in the top, swirls were stitched quickly to get a whip stitch effect. Gold stars were stitched around the pieces and then blue top and bottom free stitching was added to accentuate the swirls.</div>

I thought about which poem I would use as the inspiration for the sample. I had read 'Starry, starry night' by Don MacLean and also looked for poems about shadows on the internet. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

The sun retires to its resting place as the moon attends its post</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It gazes upon the world below looking down at all the variety of colour</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cannot be seen - Cannot be heard.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They are like the moon; they view the world and never interact</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Their suffering falls on dead ears in which it is ignored and cast aside</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This poem really resonated with me. Having spent a lot of time in developing nations, I thought of the poor, sick and starving. I then thought of our own poor and the dichotomy between rich and poor in London. I use the bus to travel from Waterloo to Chelsea and pass the high office buildings with the shiny expensive shops below and in their entrances in the early mornings, I see the rough sleepers on their cardboard boxes. People walk by and don't even notice then. They are unseen or people don't want to see them as they may feel that they would be morally obliged to offer help. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So with these images in mind, I made a felted base using a computer based drawing that I had made in an App. I had written 'Big Issue' as we are so often asked to buy a copy and many people ignore the sellers. Even if not wanted, a "no, thank you" will always get a pleasant response, such as, "have a nice day". They haven't been ignored. I decided that there would be no text in my stitched sample. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I noticed that the dark area along the middle bottom area looked like a lying figure and decided that I would put a figure in my sample so when making the felt I made an effort to not only work from dark to light but also to try and represent a figure.</div>

I cut some of the left hand side away as the piece felt too wide. I made the pieces I'd removed into two bookmarks. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The yellow sun was covered with orange and red velvet and the crescent moon with metallic lycra and metallic flakes were scattered on the felt to be the basis of a tree - the right hand 'bright' area of the piece was then covered with net and organza and stitched down with vermicelli in a tonal variegated thread.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In the bottom left hand area, layers of black organza and chiffon were heavily stitched, cut and burnt back to represent the deepest shadows from which a figure is emerging. He was in the felt and I decided to add some stitching to better define the figure</div>

I added some darker shadow vermicelli stitching closer to the figure that emerged from the dark shadows. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I considered added some tiny embedded pieces of dark metal looking plastic and cut pieces up to place along the base of the piece. I sprayed some webbing paint over the little pieces and intended to cover this with some darker organza but a couple of pieces of the plastic fell off and exposed the area that it had masked. I rather liked the effect and removed all the pieces of metal with tweezers. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Under the grid I embedded a small piece of acetate painted with interference medium to represent wet and cold in the dark place and as a final touch, small pieces of black chain were woven into the grid as a homage to Jane Lemon's, 'Chains of slavery'.</div>

An interesting exercise. I got really angry about poverty when I was stitching the lower left black element. Very emotional; my husband called up to ask if I was trying to break my sewing machine with the speed I was stitching. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Literal again I'm afraid, but the poem really spoke to me and pictures formed in my mind that I had to stitch.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My further evaluation would be that perhaps I haven't kept the piece 'light' enough but the tree and windows of the buildings perhaps fulfil the brief. </div>

I look forward to doing the research, already started, for Chapter 10.</div>

Images - If only you knew what was coming up later, right at the beginning of the course, you could take the correct photos. I had a couple (the last two) but mainly got them from the Internet<br />

<u>Transfoils</u><br />
<u><br /></u>
I used the reflective bottom element of the boat in the bottom image and using vilene and sheers, using PVA allowed to go tacky, put the transfoils on the third layer and having stitched some shapes of ripples over the top burnt back through the sheers to reveal the transfoils. Not convinced that I did this properly as they didn't transfer very well.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I had more success with Cellofoils and using felt as a base, I used parchment and ironed them but didn't get a lot of crinkle, nice effect though. I layered a couple of sheers and then created ripples with a 'ripply' automatic stitch in three colours; a metallic, blue and white floss type threads. This was based on the final photo which I took in the Seychelles by the jetty at the harbour.</div>

I loved this. Using the same photo as a source, I cut fishy/ripply shapes as with the cello foil and fused them onto a navy blue satin base supported with Stitch'n'tear, then covered with a layer of dark blue net and used a variegated thread and automatic vermicelli, stitched the piece down. No bring through on this one, as I liked the effect I had achieved.</div>

This shim had been heated then painted with a black acrylic and wiped to reveal the high spots, then a little gilding added and in a couple of spots that aren't really visible on the photo, some alcohol based ink was added. </div>

This shim was put through it's paces. I could not get vinegar to have any effect at all even after three days in a bag. It had been heated and embossed before put in a bag with vinegar. Then I put it in salty water to see what happened - nothing! So that got washed off and I had another go with the blowtorch to get the colour variance. It's really lovely, but took several days to get this way... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used a variety of tools to emboss the shims</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I read through the last instructions for the chapter and decided to combine a range of products in one image, so using reeds reflected in water as the source, I used Bondaweb to attach a piece of royal blue satin to black felt. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I trapped strips of yellow satin, copper shim and fusible foils between two layers of Angelina by fusing with the iron on parchment. Then heat-changed copper mesh was stitched as the reflection in water between two layers of metallic organza. Threads were left to hand from the tops of the reeds and finally the metallic sheer (water) was burnt through in small places to create ripples and shadows.</div>

I had already downloaded the two Van Gogh paintings 'Starry night' and 'Starry night over the Rhone' and read the text that Van Gogh had written about the paintings to his friend Boch. He was an ill man and both of these were made whilst in two mental institutions.<br />

The image holds lots of interest for the viewer. The dark left hand bottom area where he has placed the cypress tree leads the eye in three directions - along to the village with the lights and the church spire; then to the hills and possibly snowy hills above them and finally up to the swirling sky, the stars and the moon which is bright and surrounded by bright yellow, a strong contrast to the darks in the tree. So the lines are directional, lower left to upper right but with lots to look at as the eye is drawn upwards.</div>

I had thoughts on making a collaged piece using the two images mixed together in sections and printed off both the images, cut them into squares and re-assembled them taking a photograph, printed the image and then photocopied it onto printable metal as I wanted to see whether the metal would stitch and whether I could make it provide a reflective surface if placed behind the stitched piece which would be burnt through to reveal the metal. </div>

P 43. Stitched onto a metal backing as a test</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I decided that this was too messy and the machine wasn't too happy stitching heavyish metal, so I decided to use the metal after I had made the fabric and stitched piece using a simple edging stitch to hold the two together. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used two layers of water soluble and between them sandwiched little snippets of sheers representing the colours from my final drawing, so lights and darks, the moon a piece of metallic fabric, the reflected light on water strips of yellow satin, the stars of the Plough gilded brown paper and the smaller stars gilded flakes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As the brown paper gilded stars were covered in a metallic substance, I knew that the water dissolving the water soluble layers wouldn't affect them. Then a grid was stitched to trap all the pieces and the water soluble was washed out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When dry, the piece was stitched heavily in the lower left with metallic threads to represent the dark shadow of the cypress tree from Starry night and layers of sheers were added, brighter blue where the clouds are swirled and darker to represent the shaded areas of the water where there was no light reflection in 'Starry night over the Rhone'. Swirls in a blue variegated thread were heavily free embroidered under the final layer of sheer. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The sheers were stitched down to hold the layers using the variegated blue thread in swirly free stitching and then the piece was burnt through to partially reveal the cypress tree representation, the lights from the town and the swirls in the sky. Embossing powder was melted and added to the stars of the Plough and the moon. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Finally, The printed metal collage of the two paintings was placed behind the stitched piece and attached to the main piece around the edge. The bright reflection of the metal can be seen through the burnt areas of the sheers. </div>

On reflection, I am pleased with this piece, as at last I seem to be a bit better at taking an idea and thinking/creating it more abstractly. The thinking, drawing and re-thinking of the sample helped me to arrive at a decision as to which tonal values, contrasts and techniques I should choose to get the result I have planned. </div>

I decided that I need to kill the shinyness back a bit, so chose some contrasting colours to stitch on top of them and dull them down<br />

The pink and green fabrics were two-way stretch lycra and a bit tricky to stitch but the vermicelli held them down and ended up with a piece that was not too loud.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
I have a good selection of satins and chopped up some little snippets to sandwich between chiffon. I was a bit disappointed to find that they were dulled a bit by the chiffon. I did try to burn back with a heat gun, but it didn't seem to have an effect on the chiffon, so I guess that these could be used as a muted background to a piece where soft colour is needed. </div>

Sample 2 Snippets of sandwiched satin in chiffon</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Using one of my design sources, I stitched reflections in water. A piece of black felt was used as a base and metallic chiffon as a second layer. Then pieces of satin were cut and attached with spray glue to hold in place, then stitched down to represent the image.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I chose a selection of metallic fabrics and stitched them in a fairly abstract, haphazard way. This was interesting. Perhaps if I had overlaid with organza, the fabrics might have been easier to hold down. I didn't burn them back as I quite liked them as they were and thought that this might spoil the piece. </div>

I then used a piece of soft metal, covered it with satin and organza and stitched a reflective image from my design source. Then the organs was burnt back and the stain trimmed back to the stitching lines. I rather like this piece as the bumps in the metal provide some of the water refections. </div>

A piece of black felt was stitched with a design from a printing block which had been traced onto stitch 'n' tear. The piece was then stitched in cable stitch from the back, using thick black cotton in the bobbin and pink thread on top. Then the right side was painted over with black acrylic paint. When the paint was dry, silver acrylic paint was loosely brushed over the front of the piece to highlight the cable stitch.<br />

Sample 17. Rubbing with metallic wax crayon</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And finally, I selected an image of a sunset from my photo sources and used Vilene as a base. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Vilene was sprayed with orange, yellow and red paint and left to dry. A small piece of shiny satin was cut into a circle and using spray adhesive attached into the Vilene. Over the sun shape, little pieces of metallic flakes were attached with spray adhesive. These were then overlaid with a layer of yellow organza. The sun's reflection in the sea at the horizon was a piece cut from shiny gold fabric.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Dark brown satin was cut to represent the dark refections on the sea and attached with spray. Then the bottom element of the piece was overlaid with a piece of brown organza. The central bottom piece was overlaid with orange organza. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Small layers of chiffon and organza were cut and laid across the sun and in the sky and the whole top of the piece overlaid with orange organza. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The black reflections in the sea were created by using cable stitched thick cotton thread and a gold metallic thread was also used in amongst the reflections. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The high and lowlights in the sky were stitched with metallic threads both to secure the sample and highlight the areas of the sky. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Using a soldering iron, the layers were cut back to expose areas of sun. A heat gun was used to reveal the darker layers beneath the top layer and treasure gold was sparingly rubbed over the cable stitching. On reflection (smile) I decided to add some acrylic paint to this area to further enhance the cable stitching .</div>

<u><b><br /></b></u>
The questions was asked, "what uses shadows?" so I thought of my list including the suggestions of sundial and shadow puppets.<br />
<br />
Churches and cathedrals use light to create atmosphere - columns and arches and stained glass all create atmosphere. Galleries and museums also use light and shadow to exhibit work in the most advantageous situations<br />
<br />
Woods and gardens with areas of shade create the correct environment for some plants. Creepy films use shadow to scare you; ancient man used light and shadow to tell the time of year, the solstices and the passing of time - such as at Stonehenge.<br />
<br />
Bedrooms are most restful in shade; parasols, umbrellas and sunshades all provide shade to relax.<br />
<br />
Many artists use shade to create atmosphere. Those whom I especially like are Caravaggio, Rembrandt, da Vinci, Vermeer and Velasquez and I have downloaded some pictures of their work and others.<br />

I used black cartridge paper as a base layer, silver fibrous tissue paper and waxed white tissue paper were used as the layers and silver thread on the top, black thread on the bottom used to stitch the three together. Then small areas were cut away to reveal the black beneath.</div>

I used the star shape and stitched it three times; once with black thread, once with black and gold threads in the same needle and once with variegated gold thread all in granite stitch. The background fabric is chiffon supported on vilene with a vermicelli stitch. </div>

Line to define areas. Using mark-making exercises from Module 1 Chapter 8, I took and image from the internet of light through leaves as a) there was no sun, b) no broadleaf trees in leaf in March. Using LL framing I found ad interesting area and traced it to stitch'n'tear and stitched the outline of differently shaded areas. </div>

I used five layers of organza with Vilene as a stabiliser and having stitched the outlines, cut away through the layers to the colour best able to describe the areas of light and shade. Then fine and thick lines were stitched to create the light and shade in the image.</div>

An image from the internet was chosen and the design transferred to a black supporting felt. The pieces of organza were secured to the felt with temporary spray adhesive. Then a layer of organza was overlaid over all the areas and stitching done. When completed the black felt was exposed using a soldering iron to cut away the layer of organza</div>

Violet and yellow are opposites on the colour wheel so I used yellow and purple net an trapped threads, silk rods, silk tops and tribal nylon between the layers. The piece was stabilised on stitch'n'tear and and bit of a grid stitched to hold in place. Then each area was stitched with an automatic pattern in the same colour as the layer. In a couple of areas two threads were used in the needle. I had hoped to create depth and light, but not sure if this worked, though. A shotgun was applied to burn through where it would work and the edges were sealed with a flame. Some gilding wax was applied to the yellow area on the left.</div>

The Starlight Night by Gerald Manley Hopkins is full of imagery. I did have to look up a couple of words. "Abeles" are silver birch or aspens. Now, they are very stitchable, but I didn't.<br />
<br />
The whole meaning that the poem said to me was about a wonderful starlit night where the eyes of elves are sparkling in a dark wood. The scene seems to be a barn near a farm cottage surrounded perhaps by an orchard where there are trees in blossom in March; as they now are.<br />
<br />
I believe that that this poem speaks to me of the nativity in a stable and I am sure that I have read, because of the astrology, calendar changes etc - the birth of Christ may have been in March.<br />
<br />
So, this resolved sample had for me, to refer to the nativity, the woods, the blossoms and the stars.<br />
<br />
I wrote my plan on which I very roughly sketched my ideas and which elements they referred to.<br />

The base layer was a purple/dark blue chiffon which was Bondawebbed to pelmet Vilene. As this was a starry night, I thought that the moon would also be visible but didn't want it to be too bright, so from a pale satin, I cut a circle to depict the moon and Bondawebbed this to the chiffon base. </div>

The foundation of the piece.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I slipped a piece of copper coloured organza over the icon, to depict the barn then I'm afraid, I really got into stitching the piece and forgot to take photographs until I'd completed it. Gold leaf 'stars' were also sprinkled around the Angelina top left.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In my notebook I had written, "Star" - pin tucked net with layers of Angelina and organza and gathered or ruffled into a circle and then irregular cuts to form a rough star-shape. Colour ? red/gold.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I stitched down the top layer and burnt through to the icon exposing the face and the leather halos. Some gold trilobal nylon was stitched into burnt holes to appear like the radiating light from the Madonna and Child. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Layers of organza and net were cut or burnt through to expose the layers below and stitched down around the burns and cuts with granite and vermicelli stitching. Some snippets of a pink metallic fabric were stitched under an added layer or green blue organza to depict the 'March blooms". </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Also from the notebook, using words from the poem, I wrote, " down in the dimwoods", and decided to make a tree from crumpled brown paper and fused little torn up pieces of Bondaweb to it's surface, heated it to distort, allowed it to cool and pasted with PVA glue then sprinkled with gold and silver embossing powder and heated, then gilded when cooled with gilding wax to add light sparkles, "the diamond delves - elves' eyes". This was made, the first time that I had tried the technique. I stitched the tree to the piece and covered it with green/blue chiffon which was stitched on and then cut in places with a soldering iron to exposed the gilded bark.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I made the star by first pin-tucking gold metallic net with twin needles and metallic threads. The stitching looped in an interesting way and I decided to continue as it didn't detract from the base layer of the star that I was making. A second layer of dark blue and gold fused Angelina was cut into 'star' shapes and stitched on top of the net which had been gathered and stitched onto the base. Then two layers of gold/red organza were cut into a 'star' and held to seal their edges over a flame and then offset against each other and stitched on top of the lower two layers. </div>

I felt that the moon was too dim but didn't want to risk cutting or burning through to see if it would look better if more visible as this was an action that I couldn't reverse, so instead, using a silver metallic thread outlined the moon to make it more visible. </div>

I then edged the piece with a machine 'blanket' stitch. All the stitching was done with metallic threads.</div>

So, I needed to shop! I did have fun finding a good range of sheers, nets and paper and all the other bits I thought would work. They now occupy the spare bed.<br />

I had taken a photo of a beech tree and used a leaf as a potential source. so using the newspaper and spray method I made a sandwich incorporating some soft wire to create veins in the leaf. In the finished sample, the veins didn't show so I cable stitched some gold cord to represent the veins. The sample was then scorched with a flame which represent the decay of autumn leaves.</div>

I didn't have a photograph to use as a suggestion for using nets, so used the same type of process in the chapter.

I took a lovely photo in New York of windows with building refections and decided to use this as my source. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I used a piece of thinnish white paper and acrylic waxed it to give it a bit of strength. This was folded in half to make the sandwich and fused Angelina was put between two layers of dark blue organza. The organza layers were stitched with metallic threads in a grid pattern. I also placed a piece of thin mica beneath the top layer of paper which was then stitched with black thread in the top and bottom to represent the window framing and the paper torn back to expose the organza and mica. A bit like Stitch'n'tear the little bits of white had to be picked out from the stitching. Areas were burnt back to expose the Angelina</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The retained paper was then painted with interference medium, but it doesn't show up very well.</div>

Finally a layer of gold and a layer of yellow organza became the sandwich between which snippets were trapped by using vermicelli stitch to hold then and then little areas were stitched with the same threads in granite stitch and some other areas with metallic granite stitch and some of the layering burnt back. </div>

<u>All that Glistens</u> - experimenting with metallic threads<br />
<br />
Well, despite going out to get more metallic threads, I still don't have a huge number but enough variety no doubt to move ahead<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Stitching with metallic threads</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Well, I had a lovely free day so spent the day stitching. Much frustration with the threads some of which broke under speed but I persevered. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The first sample was straight stitch altering lengths of stitch and on the same piece of black felt supported by pelmet Vilene satin and zigzag altering stitch length and width. No problem with this gold thread.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Sample 3</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Sample 3 was layers and layers of zigzag. I used a range of colours and had issues with some of the threads, not with others. I found the ones that look like floss frayed out quite quickly and constantly needed re-threading.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Layers and layers of automatic pattern. This was fun, I used stronger threads this time and had few breakages. Then coloured thread in the bobbin and metallic on top with the top tension tightened to pull the metallic through. I stitched these on the same piece of felt. I didn't feel that this piece worked quite so well.</div>

I used a metallic thread in the bobbin and a matching coloured thread on top and tried to whip stitch but with little success. I could get little flecks of the pale blue metallic coming through but not enough to make much of an impact. I looks like a hare (unintentional)!</div>

Using the same detail as Janet from the Van Gogh' s 'Starry Night' and not reversing the design, I used a gold coloured cord and dark blue chenille cable stitching from the back of the piece which was supported with pelmet Vilene. Then the lovely variegated gold thread used before was used on the right side to pick up some more metallic detail. I rather like this. </div>

Reflection of the spectrum on a pillar was used to inspire the next piece of stitching. It was only when I cropped this photo that I spotted the fly or spider on the pillar - I didn't stitch it... but using colours to try to catch the same shades as the refection, I used free zigzag and then lightly overstitched with the variegated gold thread</div>

Images for the theme<br />
<br />
I found it quite tricky to differentiate some elements, such as light and spectrum so some of the images may be a bit muddled.<br />
<br />
Some of my images are from the Internet but most are my own, either from my electronic photo album which is extensive or from photos taken this week after rain or when the sun shone!<br />

I chose five images - loosely on which to base my drawings. I couldn't find metallic coloured crayons on the web, so with metallic pens and a couple of crayons, I made the drawings and words for each</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A galaxy drawn with metallic crayon and pens. I cut a stencil to make the shapes for the drawing.<br />
The words I thought of were spiral, swirling, heavenly, ethereal, incomprehensible and fireworks</div>

A rainbow. I didn't have all the colours in metallics so had to use the best I could and added little stars to give each band a bit of breadth. The words - Pot of gold, palette, rain and sun, Africa (rainbow nation)<br />

Then a really poor drawing of a tree reflected in a puddle and the words were distortion and abstraction</div>

I don't know if there are more coloured Interference mediums available, I will look, but with the pale colours that I had, I drew and painted what might represent the light from pieces of stained glass. The words were, abstract, reflective and a mirror on the world.<br />

Each cut through was then stitched around using appropriate stitching and then the 'bare' patches of felt were stitched with 'vermicelli' - I folded flaps back to reveal the left hand image of my grandmother but they wouldn't stay open so I stitched them down. I bordered the piece with a machine blanket stitch to tidy the edges.</div>

So, I layered up my fabrics. Again I pin tucked the base layer as this seems to provide a fairly firm fabric for the support. I had some pieces of random dyed cotton left over from another project, so I stitched these together the pin tucked the piece</div>

I decided not to use photographs again as it was quite difficult to establish exactly where the face would be in the layer. I didn't like stitching through my grandmother's face in the trial sample either. I have been saving sweet wrappers from Christmas and other foils as I enjoy using metals and knew that they would be used sometime, so I stitched lots of sweet and cake foils together to make an A4 sized piece. This mostly worked but some of the foils were caught by the foot, so I just added another sweet paper to cover any little rips. </div>

I keep all my thread ends as I sew and have little bags full of them, so when I went through my snippet box, I looked for some threads that would work with this piece. I found some unlabelled fibres, probably silk or banana fibres all dyed in good colours, so I stitched these unsupported with a grid of free stitching to hold them together and that became my next layer.</div>

I love hanks of waste silk and but them impetuously when I see them at shows. Using colours that I thought would work for this sample, I stitched six strips of silk waste together to make a piece of fabric that I could use as a layer. </div>

The penultimate layer was space dyed velvet in bright shades. I had reflected that whilst I liked the trial sample, I had thought it to be dull, so my choices for colours and fabrics for the resolved sample I had decided would be bright. </div>

The top layer was to provide a bit of drama, so I used a black figured synthetic. Again, I have no idea when or where I got this piece. Using stitch and tear I drew my design and stitched it on top of the rather thick sandwich which had ten layers. </div>

The original black metallic fabric roses figured into it. These were now not visible because of the stitched design but were going to be lost completely once the piece was cut and stitched.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I cut through to the layers, mostly sticking to my plan and using stitching that I thought appropriate for each exposed layer, stitched around the holes that had been created. Vermicelli stitching was free embroidered over all the non-cut through areas. </div>

The chapter suggestion was that a border would be good. I had tidied the edges with a couple of layers of machine blanket stitch then using Bondaweb, backed the piece with black cotton fabric then found a piece of black shiny two way stretch lycra and made a border by machining it to the front elements of the piece and mitring then hand-stitching the back whilst I watched the Sewing Bee on TV. Mitring is not my thing, it seems but I believe there is quilting in Module 6 - an opportunity to learn and improve!</div>

<u><br /></u>
I had a look at the Mola work online - it was difficult to see that it was cut-through as the detail was pixelated when enlarged. I see what they achieve though, it's lovely and very colourful.<br />
<br />
<u>Design</u><br />
<u><br /></u>
I have been looking for possible source materials both pattern and pictorially based. My grandmother painted. My brother has a painting that she did, a still life with pheasants, so I guess she was a bird painter. I have wonderful photographs of her as a young Edwardian lady and as part of my cut-throughs, I thought of having a layer where the cut-through takes you to a picture of her. Just a thought.<br />
<br />
<u>Taking rubbings a bit further </u><br />
<u><br /></u>
I have had a look around inside as the weather has been foul to find possible rubbings. I also picked a couple of ferns from the garden to rub.<br />

Given that the module theme is "Birds of a feather" I couldn't see that these would be suitable. I made a rubbing pattern as proposed in the chapter. Once I had cut out all the shapes, I had sore fingers!!</div>

I had read Chapter Ten and knew that this piece would be used for the resolved sample. I had difficulty getting a clear image from the rubbings. I only had soft wax crayons which in my hands became even softer and blurred easily. So I went to the shops to find some harder crayons after my first few attempts. </div>

<u><br /></u>
A large square of black cotton fabric was Bondawebbed to pelmet Vilene to provide a firm support for the paper feathers<br />
<br />
The first layer was torn black cartridge paper, the second some sepia newsprint with images and then black and white images. Then a layer of feathers was added from a gauzy paper but it was made of a randomised weave and difficult to tear so had to be cut.<br />
<br />
On top of this a Bengali daily newspaper and page from a text book were torn into feather shapes covered with torn tissue paper saved from purchases. Then two layers of feathers were torn from handmade papers containing seed parts, then a lovely soft Indian handmade paper and finally some fine tissue.<br />
<br />
All these layers were stitched separately to the supporting fabric and Vilene to look like a bird's wing. I love the result.<br />

and running my hands over the raw edges. Some fabrics frayed better than others. I'm not sure if I interpreted the suggested method properly but am pleased with the look of the sample. It would make a nice start to a bigger piece<br />

Several silk rods were peeled to fine layers. The top layers were useable but the lower layers were not penetrated with dye so they have been kept for future use. I had a range of beautiful colours and also a lovely piece of space dyed silk which would make the perfect base. I backed the silk to give it support and using suitably coloured variegated thread and an automatic machine pattern, the rods were layered and stitched to the silk giving a lovely effect. Again a sample that would be a good start for a bigger piece in the future.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I should have stitched the hill first and the tree afterwards - but I didn't so, the tree was first drawn onto space dyed fabric and and used space-dyed scrim held loosely with zigzag - loose threads were left to hang and look like twigs. Some mulberry bark was layered over the scrim and frayed at it's end again to represent twigs and roots.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then the hill was made using silk waste threads unsupported and stitched over and over to hold it together. Some automatic stitch was used to cover the area more quickly. The finished piece was cut to shape using the freezer paper as a template. The piece was then stitched in rows of zigzag around the trunk and branches of the tree and within the couched thread piece the stitching down was done with narrow rows at the top and wider rows towards the bottom to add perspective. Ridges were crumpled into the piece as it was stitched to create contours. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A metal grid was used to distort the pebbles made in lawn at the foot and roots of the tree. The fabric was pushed through the grid, help with pins and Bondawebbed to hold the piece in shape when it was removed from the grid. The pebble sample was then cut to shape using a freezer paper template and stitched to the base.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The pond was made using wavy lines stitched onto space dyed cotton and backed with shrink polyester which was heated after stitched to create ripples and then stitched down to the main piece having been cut to shape.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

Reeds of grass were made from a striped pin-tucked organza which was cut to soften the edges of the pebbles and the pond. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A diving mallard, exposing her rear end was made by stitching the initial white shape from cotton with the edges left free. The gaps in the edges were stuffed with some polyester filling and then stitched down giving the duck some shape. Her webbed feet were added using a piece of orange cotton. The webbed footprints show where she entered the water at the roots of the tree. They aren't very visible but they are small triangles of brown velvet loosely stitched to the base. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I then moved on to the drake flying in from the west to check on the duck and potential family. I stitched much of his detail and then added some detail to the wing using frayed muslin. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The nest was made from free embroidered muslin and a made cord threaded through some of the gaps and stitched to the main piece very much in 3D. Eggs were made from padded felt and free embroidery stitched into tiny ovals which were cut very close to the stitching and then squeezed into shape with my fingers and all placed in the nest. They were held in place using hand-stitching with invisible thread. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The feathers were made from lawn cotton freezer paper templates - fiddly and held in with a few stitches along their quill, the higher two could represent feather 'leaves' - the lower one fell from the drake's back on his last egg inspection!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On reflection, I started with a basic plan and then changed bits and pieces as I went along. I like to work as the piece develops making changes as I move forward. I would think that if I was making something more structured, I would have to have made a mock-up of a piece first. I do like to be more spontaneous though. </div>
