Chapter 9 - Resolved Sample

To decide what to do for my resolved sample I made a view finder and passed it over my previous work to see if anything took my eye.

Image 1 - This is the area that I liked the best:

 


Image 2 - I prepared fabric by hand sewing spirals onto some of the fabric in my colourways collection:





Image 3 - A close up of the hand sewn spirals:




Image 4 - I backed the fabric with bondaweb and cut out sections:




Image 5 - Front view of cut out backed fabric:




Image 6 -  A view of the artwork I chose to work from and the fabric shapes after they'd been laced over cardboard to give them rigidity and thickness:




Image 7 - Final resolved sample laced over board:




Image 8 - Close up of painted beed affixed with a bead and sequin at the top:




Image 9 - Close up of one section which has been wrapped with yarn (all pieced had one corded edge of red wool):




Image 10 - Close up of piece wrapped with string and sequins:




Image 11 - Close up of edge wrapped with fine wire and sequins:




Image 12 - Close up of piece with sequins on:




Image 13 - Close up of edge wrapped with knotted fabric strips:




The photographs look quite garish and I'm not sure that the faded green really works on the bright pink/red (which seems to be emphasized in the photographs!).  I tried to use up fabrics and yarn etc that I already had in the collection - if I were to do this piece again I would choose a much brigher green fabric!
