Getting back into the swing of things

Module 2 Chapter 12 - beginnings.

I hadn't intended posting this start to Chapter 12 until I had completed Stage 2, but having just returned from a wonderful holiday in the Outer Hebrides, it seems like a good way of picking up my thought processes again.

This chapter results in the first of 5 assessment pieces, and the brief is to make a three dimensional functional embroidered item. Stage 1 is to make a number of 3D shapes:

2.12.1

2.12.2

2.12.3

These shapes were all made with white felt and lightly stuffed.

2.12.4

2.12.5

2.12.6

2.12.7

2.12.8

2.12.9

The next stage is to develop the shapes further, thinking about tones and patterns. At this stage I'm drawn to 3 shapes and want to develop them further. I want to work with the woven box shape in 2.12.5 , the circular shapes in 2.12.7 and the petal like shapes in 2.12.9
