Surface design, a new design sheet, each torn piece of paper hand stitched to an A3 base of white.
The end goal here is a design collection which leads to the creation of a drawstring pouch.
As I am working on this in class it's slow going.
Videos are posted monthly so I'm trying to rein myself in and not get carried away!
The progression of a design sheet.
The first three images show new additions which were completed before the embellishments on the last image.
The last image has patterned paper applied using hand stitch with a ribbon channel partially attached.
Once fully attached the ribbon channel will be further embellished with tiny seed beads.
It's coming together!
We've been doing a little design work in class so these sheets created a while ago came out.
It's such a good creative exercise to examine pieces like this.
They reinspire and spark new ideas regardless of your current project.
Techniques used here are transferable
Colour, theme and pattern may differ but presentation technique can be used again and again.
