The aim of this exercise is to help you begin to explore the role of evaluation ,selection, development and refinement in your design and making process.
It was difficult to decide as each paper sample had qualities I liked and felt I could develop, I decided to lay them all out with my sample squares to see which I was drawn to more and could envision as a textile sample.
My first sample is yellow turmeric paper stitched together to create an A3 sized paper sample. I am focusing on the hard textured gouache recreating it with yellow tissue paper layered and stitched with wool and a large needle. The crumpled tissue recreates the texture of the paint. I used a black mohair to create long stitches showing the branches and form of the tree.I enjoyed stitching on a larger surface, freedom in stitching big. It is not a controlled pattern which I also really enjoyed .
My second sample is recreating the Mexican top stitching on white A3 paper.
I used tracing paper that I crumpled to stitch into with an embroidery needle, it was more difficult to stitch into and tore easily, I like the effect even with the tears adding to the texture. Stitched with red, green and yellow wool.
I like the clearness of the white background and the detail of the imperfect stitches, showing damage through wear.
Brief
Use two different drawings from the six selected to inform these two samples.It was difficult to decide as each paper sample had qualities I liked and felt I could develop, I decided to lay them all out with my sample squares to see which I was drawn to more and could envision as a textile sample.
