Significance project: Gawthorpe brief

Figure 1: Sketchbook Drawing

Figure 2: Sample

I first experiment onto satin fabric as my ground, but I then realized that my work was not about replicas my own drawings, but to develop from it.  When printing onto satin, there was too much of a picture-like quality to the work. The satin shows the flaws in the stitch work much more obviously than cotton based fabrics. 

Figure 3: Sample

I have used quilting as my ground and combined different types of machinery into my embroidery piece.
