6.1 – Various ideas on small piece of drawn thread work. This fabric was dyed using allotment blackberries and now, several months on, it has turned a shade of brown whilst the manufactured threads have stayed the same. It’s interesting how the piece has changed over time, I like this concept of a piece changing naturally.
6.2 – The majority of the horizontal threads were pulled and then groups of threads were run through the machine using zigzag stitch. It was surprisingly satisfying!
6.3 – Close up of 6.2
6.4 – Loops. This was a little tricky to sew as the fabric is so flimsy.
6.5 – The orange is a bit garish here but is deliberately unsubtle to make it easier to see what is going on. Although I love orange and pink together, they make me zing! From top to bottom: weaving; clusters of pulled threads attached in bundles; horizontal threads pulled and the verticals then used as loops; as previous but loops secured in alternate positions; needle weaving; drawn threads woven back into the fabric (left) or simply secured (right).
6.6 – Horizontal threads pulled, cut and bundled. They’ve been attached to the voids with the first two top and bottom remaining horizontals pulled down to form a wavy pattern,
6.7 – Jute scrim with tapestry yarn hand-wrapped around the bars.
