My embroidery
samples mainly consist of dip dyed fabric and cording in my chosen colour
palette. My initial embroidery samples (shown in a previous blog post) were the
main inspiration for the shapes formed; box pleats, cording using hair-pinning
and ruffles are all dominant techniques within. I feel that there is a complimentary
contrast between these shapes and the linear lines. In terms of attention to
creating a collection, the fabric, cottons and yarns are all reasonably the
same, in order to keep a running trend throughout.
Relating to my
design development drawings, I have managed to incorporate a merging of colours
throughout, with the intentions of responding to the merging of memories and
surrounding colours of the fairground. I also managed to portray this by using
a selection of mixed yarns, twisting between contrasting colours (also used in
my weave)
The layering of
samples was important as I feel it gives them much more interest. Again, the dissimilarity
of ruffled shapes juxtaposing the linear lines commends my latest drawings. The
3D aspect may be something I want to continue when displaying my exhibition. I’ve
thought about pinning them in such a way to make them stand off the page. This would
add an extra dimension to my work, and hopefully make them much more exciting
to look at.
I can see my
embroidery samples within interiors, potentially used as eccentric edges for
decorative cushions, or curtain ties, much like the work of Osborne and Little
(noted in a previous blog post).
