Working on a larger scale seems to be working well and has a good impact on my work. The marks that I have been creating are becoming very effective and already can see them been used as part of a print design. I have already created a lot designs with my mark making but I need to exhaust these ideas, use the objects I have been using in as many ways as possible; Working in black and white means I am just focusing on my designs and textures first of all, colour can be added in later on. The work I have been developing from my embroidery, looking at the stitching on the back of the designs and creating double sided samples is effective as a stitch technique but the work I have developed from this is where I need to improve. Creating quick sketches of the stitching using techniques such as blind drawing and my left hand to draw the detail haven’t been very successful as they don’t look very interesting and been done too quick. This is just something I have tried but hasn’t been worthwhile.
I definitely need to work on acetate so can visually layer up designs and prints to see what they can look like. Overall I am working to the aim of making a print but my ideas seem that they would work well in relation to a weave, so at the moment I am keeping my options and ideas for sampling and experimenting open to other specialist areas.
