In terms of broadening my drawings, I used ‘brusho’ dyes to
experiment with my chosen colour palette. I enjoyed using these specific dyes,
and found them really easy to mix and blend, resulting in vivid saturations
exactly how I wanted. The form of the
colours are reflective of the shapes of my embroidery samples, long in length
and thin in width.
When looking through my Pinterest board (link underneath), I wanted to keep some of these images running through my sketchbook in order to
keep on top of ideas for final results. The ‘fashion’ element was the basis for
this decision, as I love the idea of producing a neckpiece, and would like to
use the ruffles and fringing to inspire my embroidery samples. The women’s
accessories were my main motive for using the image, but I thoroughly love the juxtaposition
in the melancholy expressions on their faces, to the colours behind them.

Reflecting on my visual research, I have learnt that I need to
follow my colour palette more, and try not to introduce even more colours as I
go. This way I can conclude to finish with a selection that look more like a
collection, rather than a random set of samples.
