This first unit has made me look at drawing in a different way and that it is not limited to just pencil and paper, that by using other objects such as recycled or found objects I was able to think in a different and creative way. The differing architecture in the city inspired my chance cards. By looking at my chance card drawing and the samples of my work it has helped me to improve my work and develop my embroidery designs.
To develop my work further I look through my embroidery samples and select what I think has potential and evolve that using different compositions.
I have learnt through my work that I like to be very minimal and my lines in embroidery to be very precise to create composition. I have also learnt that when making a sampling of hand embroidery I like to use an embroidery ring I think of it like a canvas and it helps me to create tighter more detailed designs.
I have been able to use the different machine embroidery techniques such as the double needle which has given me a far greater appreciation of the varying scope of embroidery.
I used the initial instruction of keeping to minimal colours in all my work including my embroideries using only black, grey and white and this helped me concentrate on my technique and ideas rather than have to worry about the colour I would use.
I feel that I could have organised my time better at the start of the project as I felt rushed at the end. I wasn’t sure what I was doing at the beginning but felt as I progressed I was able to manage my time better and utilise my workshop time well as I came to understand the project. I feel that I have used lateral thinking with my work. My sampling cards provided many instances of inspiration for my embroidery work that I was able to develop. My machine embroidery also helped me develop ideas for my hand embroidery.
