Open blanket stitch

The colour on the background are accidental, I have been using this piece of fabric for ironing my ink-up receipts, therefore, the ink stain got onto the fabric.
Then I have started cut out coloured fabric and place them on top in a collage way and used chain stitch, french knots and open button hole to creates the petals of the flower, on each flower, I was trying to creates more details by creating smaller loops.

Transferring chance card drawing into textiles work

This is a photograph of a mushroom that I have found in Withworth Park, I have taken this as my inspiration and starting point.

This is a photograph of my samplings, I have picked out one of the chance cards: draw with 20 lines. I have first drew a mushroom, then adding my own instruction to, which was: draw with 20 lines, after that use a rubber to rub out the drawing and repeat as many times as needed. Therefore, the drawing would ended up with rubbed out lines as well as the new ones. 

Then I have transformed that into textile work, first I have studied the colour of the mushroom and decided to use a rather light weighted fabric to represent that, however, I have later on added threads onto it ,but leaving the middle empty, because in the picture above, all the lines based around and leaving the middle part empty. 

Cornely Machine Sample 2

After I have gained more experience at the Cornely Machine, I have more control over it. I have used my drawings as a starting point and transfered that into textiles.

This is the drawing that I have worked from, this drawing was done in using non-drawing tools. I have studied at a red leaf that I have found, I was looking at the way it folding it self after it has been dried out and how the colours changes. Then I have used different types of Cornely machine to repersent that, I have used moss stitch and chain stitch to address the vains on the leaf.
