<br />
I've just been reading <a href="http://stitchmark.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/evaluation-and-resolved-sample-module-6.html">Judith Aylett's blog</a> about learning from your mistakes, and it's true - I have learnt a lot about processes while doing this chapter. I've always found it difficult to translate a design into stitch. I can happily make samples until the cows come home, but set me a "resolved sample" or a "assessment piece" to do, and I lose all my confidence and I struggle.<br />
<br />
One of the things Judith says in her blog, is that if you are unsure about a piece, prop it up in a place where you will keep seeing it from the corner of your eye. I think it is important to let a piece speak to you about what to do next.<br />
<br />
That's what I did at the end of my last post, and it didn't take me long to realise that neither of the two lower spirals that I printed on using a thermofax screen were working - despite the fact that I had liked it initially, the black one was way too dark, and had lost its delicacy, and the magenta one needed definition.<br />
<br />
So, I printed a couple of spirals onto calico, cut them out and applied them over the top of the printed ones using straight stitches to echo the printed marks. I used perle 5 threads, 2 magenta, a gungy green and black. Using the green, I stitched over the central green spiral to moderate its colour. Finally I stitched the top spiral on with small stab stitches.<br />
<br />
And I think that's it! It certainly has the feel of the original paper pieces without slavishly copying them.<br />

<br />
Cutting up your sample piece without a clear idea of what you are going to do is a bit daunting, so I decided to make some photocopies and cut them up first! I made 4 versions.<br />
<br />
Version 1 : I freely cut a photocopy into strips, mounted them onto a piece of A3 paper, and added some more spirals using a torn paper stencil, a sharpie, an oil pastel, and a graphite stick.<br />
<br />
3.9.19<br />

<br />
Version 2 : This time I cut the photocopy using a rotary cutter and the Fibonacci sequence, added more spirals as above, but this time let them escape from the confines of the patterned area.<br />

So, reasonably happy with where I was going with this, I cut the sample into strips, free machined spirals onto a piece of calico, and applied the strips to the background using stab stitches around the edges. I reduced the spaces between the top strips, and I'm happier with that.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Deciding how to add the spirals took quite a bit of thought. I particularly liked the marks I had made adding the spirals which I thought worked really well with the monoprint marks underneath. I decided to have some Thermofax screens made, so I made two sizes of spiral using the same torn stencil I had used for the paper versions. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Printing on to the fabric was another "make or break" moment, so I decided I'd better capture where I had got to before I took the plunge!</div>

The Thermofax screens were made by Thermofax Screens (www.thermofaxscreens.co.uk). It's a simple process - you do the artwork, email them a scan, and two days later the screens arrive - brilliant!</div>

Definitely not the disaster it could have been. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So what's left to do?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>I'm pleased with the dark spiral ( I used Paynes Grey acrylic paint), but the other three spirals need a bit of definition. I've printed a spiral onto one of the discarded fabric pieces to use as a sample.</li>
<li>Although it doesn't stand out quite so much on the photograph, I am increasingly unhappy with the colour of the green central spiral, and need to find a way to amend that.</li>
<li>I need to decide what else if anything needs to be added. I have pinned a spiral at the top. I was trying to echo the cream spiral in the middle, so I free-machined a piece of calico using whip stitch, and then removed the thread on the top, so as I was just left with the loops.</li>
</ul>
I just need to look at things for a few days to decide what to do!Kentish Maidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04529151812151193139noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297433756570257323.post-75376078877266496912015-03-04T05:09:00.000-08:002015-03-04T05:09:44.065-08:00Module 3 Chapter 10Designing an accessory.<br />
<br />
<u>Initial thoughts</u><br />
My initial thoughts on reading this module were that I would make some sort of boned corset or boned shaped belt, but I think I would get bogged down in the "dressmaking" aspects to the detriment of the creative aspects.<br />
<br />
At the British Museum I saw these metal arm pieces.<br />
<br />
3.10.1<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqai2OdWYrEB2dEBDga4liEUQp2tx9Seg1j4laOeHfOkESTHPO_vxdVzs7w0MIS2B1PUvp0DL8FcoKVKcNyjPtDFwBGJdOo4zITYKjGk_rjL2QNkbaTChTPWlk3Yiockdt7ZUn43451uA/s1600/3.10.1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqai2OdWYrEB2dEBDga4liEUQp2tx9Seg1j4laOeHfOkESTHPO_vxdVzs7w0MIS2B1PUvp0DL8FcoKVKcNyjPtDFwBGJdOo4zITYKjGk_rjL2QNkbaTChTPWlk3Yiockdt7ZUn43451uA/s1600/3.10.1.JPG" height="154" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I love the idea of making an arm piece that starts with a spiral on the hand, wraps around the forearm and ends with another spiral that sits below the elbow on the top of the arm. I would want it to be one continuous piece, with the two spirals fixed and the spiral wrapped round the arm - not as a cuff, but something you wrap and unwrap each time you take it on or off.<br />
<br />
So I would need to experiment with making cords as they would need to be <u>self supporting</u> and <u>keep their shape</u>.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Try making a number of simple cords and then make a much thicker cord using the simple cords.</li>
<li>Try adding in or wrapping them with wires.</li>
<li>Try making a cord that gradually gets thicker so that when it wraps around the arm, it gets more chunky as it reaches the elbow - or maybe the other way round, so that it is chunky at the wrist and gradually tails off as it winds up the arm. </li>
</ul>
And then I remembered some Bronze Age jewellery and artifacts I had seen at the Hungarian National Museum in Budapest last summer. Don't speak Hungarian (!) so it was impossible to be certain what we were looking at - just all stunning!<br />

So I think this opens up all sorts of possibilities beyond the original idea, and gives me a lot of food for thought! It strikes me that whilst all these objects were made to be worn, they look lovely on display, and whilst clearly whatever I make will be a wearable accessory, I think it is important that it looks good on display like a piece of sculpture.<br />

I think this is all fairly self explanatory, but one or two additional points:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>I think the shape of the large left hand spiral needs refining which I would do as I couch the cord down. I think it would benefit from the internal spaces being bigger.</li>
<li>The lower picture shows the addition of a extra spiral to the right. At present it is the tracing paper shape I used to make the green spiral. Maybe one or two other "shadow" spirals? I quite like the shadowy quality it has.</li>
<li>In the photo the green spiral looks as if it has just been plonked on top. Maybe I need to think about some straight stitching on the other spiral(s) to echo the wire wrapping on the green spiral. Maybe they are simply shadows entirely defined by the straight stitches.</li>
</ul>

<br />
It's such a long time since I have done any work on this chapter, that to get started, I have decided to write up everything I have done so far, see what still needs to be done, and then set myself a target for completing it.<br />
<br />
This module calls for a resolved sample based on spirals, using at least two techniques from this module as well as techniques from the previous modules.<br />
<br />
I've actually found spirals quite difficult, it took me a long time to come up with drawings and monoprints I was happy with - my old problem of being too literal, and not being spontaneous and free in the marks I was making.<br />
<br />
So I revisited Chapter 2, and so as to get the relevant bits here in front of me, here are a couple of the best drawings and monoprints from Chapter 2.<br />
<br />

<br />
Just about at the same time as I was starting to think about this Chapter, Sian introduced the Summer drawing series of lessons, and I made this drawing using a torn spiral, both the positive and negative, as a mask.<br />
<br />
3.9.4<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I was really pleased with how free it was, and how interesting the overlapping marks were, so I continued to work in my sketchbook using some of the summer drawing lessons as inspiration. I tore up photocopies of some of my monoprints, added spiral scribbles, and printed direct to my sketchbook using a foam printing block I had made in an earlier chapter.<br />
<br />
I printed on top of some of my "failed" monoprints from Chapter 2 and tore them up and tried to develop them with additional lines and scribbles, and generally enjoyed myself!<br />

Some of these are more successful than others, but I was sufficiently pleased with the results to decide to try the same process in textile. I deliberately didn't set out to copy what I had done, but to try and replicate the processes.</div>

Because of the way I had layered everything up, using reverse applique from Module 1 seemed a good place to start.</div>

I made three pieces working very quickly to try and keep the spontaneity going. I used monoprinted fabric from earlier in the module, machine embroidered fabric from earlier in the module. I tried to work freely between the three pieces, adding bits I'd cut from one piece into another.</div>

I was looking at them all sitting beside each other on my work surface, and I wondered about putting the three pieces together and trying to integrate them, so I pinned them together, and started to lay on a few cut pieces to start the integration process. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And that's the last thing I did. Excuses I know, but despite my best intentions, I have been so busy with other things that I simply haven't been able to get any work done on this at all.</div>

So what next? I've made photocopies of all three pieces and I'm going to try various options - maybe doing some more printing and doing more reverse applique; maybe making some wrapped pieces to apply; maybe making some spirals out of cords and applying them. I'm hoping that as I start to work, other ideas with present themselves. Having written all this, I am feeling quite inspired! </div>

We had a few visitors including one lady who had brought 3 samplers to show us, and when she unwrapped them, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. She very kindly let me photograph them.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately none of them are dated, so here's my best guesses.<br />

I really can't guess a date for this one - maybe late eigtheenth century, early nineteenth century. This one has a name - Ann Beckett - at the bottom. This one was difficult to read, so there may be a date somewhere. The bottom two thirds is the Lord's prayer, worked in tine eyelets on unbleached linen.</div>

This one's a real enigma - it looks like a seventeenth century band sampler (surely not!), but looking at it, it appears to have some later additions - the blue flowers and possibly the white flowers in the second and fourth bands. The "original" bits are exquisitely stitched with tiny stitches on a piece of very fine unbleached linen. There is also evidence of metallic threads in the top band. The "additions" are fairly crudely stitched .</div>

There were some wonderful quilts. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and am already thinking about next year!<br />

The quilt on the right is called Circles 1. It's hand pieced and quilted.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The quilt on the left is called Circles 2. I used fabrics left from the first quilt, but added to it to lighten and brighten the mix. The inspiration for the quilt is a technique by American quilt artist Jane LaFazio called Recycled circles. Each block is made by freely cutting quadrants and then bonding them to the background. Each block is heavily embroidered, machined together and hand quilted with seeding stitches.</div>

<br />
The brief was to select the different types of bead - seed, bugle, sequin etc - and sew them on in as many ways as possible to create a bead sampler.<br />
<br />
I chose some shot taffeta, backed it with some cotton curtain lining and, after I had tacked the grid, I mounted it onto a wooden frame. I decided to make each square 2", and the grid six squares by six squares. After a few squares, I did wonder if I had made too many squares, but left it as it is. <br />
<br />
Once I had completed the squares, I laced it onto a square of mount board, and then worked the edges and the fringes along the bottom. Finally I mounted the whole thing onto a larger rectangle of mount board. I had intended to mount it on the white side of the board, but it looked much better on the green side - sheer coincidence that the only piece of mount board I had was that colour.<br />

Interesting results - they look like fossils, particularly the top right one, which I think looks like an ammonite.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The next challenge is to try and embed them into a stitched piece, and to prevent them just looking like a chunk of tyvek!</div>

<br />
This chapter explores the making of simple buttons - using cut shapes and found objects to make cores; using Dorset button techniques; and wrapping techniques, including the use of tyvek.<br />
<br />
This first group are made using cut shapes and found objects to make "buttons" - I'm not sure any of these would made practical buttons. I've treated them as experimental little 3D sculptures, and I haven't tried to finish off the backs beautifully!<br />

Dorset buttons</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The history of Dorset buttons is well documented - see <span id="goog_1524190566"></span><a href="http://www.thedorsetpage.com/history/Button_Making/button_making.htm">here</a>, and <a href="http://www.henrysbuttons.co.uk/index.html">here</a>. This last site has some very good photographs of old and new buttons, which really shows what can be done.<span id="goog_1524190567"></span></div>

I find it particularly interesting that women could make more money working at home making buttons than working in the fields, and that one benefit was that their clothes and particularly their shoes lasted longer. Women could expect to make two shillings a day making about six or seven dozen buttons, as opposed to ninepence a day working in the fields.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The two smallest buttons in the picture below took me about an hour - I'd need a lot of practice before I could earn two shillings a day!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I found the whole process quite compulsive, and could have gone on making them for days!</div>

Tyvek<br />
<br />
I painted a few pieces of tyvek saved from envelopes. I used the same colours of acrylic paint that I used to paint papers earlier in the module.<br />
While I was waiting for the papers to dry, I decided to quickly make two print blocks using funky foam stuck to foam core board. I used a simple spiral, and made a positive and negative block. Once the tyvek was dry (well nearly dry, I'm not very patient, and I could hardly use a hairdryer to speed the process!), I printed one side of all four sheets.<br />

Once I've cut up and zapped the tyvek, I don't expect the patterns to have any impact other than colour changes. If I have any left when I have finished making toggles, I may have a little play!</div>

I didn't enjoy making tassels as much as I enjoyed making cords in the previous chapter. These tassels are, with one or two exceptions, made using either a 4" or 9" metal frame made from a wire coathanger.<br />

<br />
Much as I love the "paperwork" side of these modules, it is lovely to be stitching again.<br />
<br />
Firstly a series of small hand stitched spirals (stitched area about 17cms square), all worked in the hoop. So, in the order I stitched them:<br />
<ul>
<li>bottom right - 2 lines of running stitch worked from the inside out. The second row, the pale pink rayon thread, echos the first line, which is green coton-a-broder, but is a different rythm.</li>
<li>centre - deep pink tapestry wool running stitch, worked from the inside out, then a line of pale pink coton-a-broder worked very close. I then whipped the first line with the coton-a-broder.</li>
<li>bottom centre - running stitch in a pale lime green soft cotton, whipped with the deep pink tapestry wool. I then added a row of back stitch worked quite close to the first line, in a green sparkly thread.</li>
<li>top centre - A row of green coton-a-broder running stitch once again worked from the inside out, whipped with a pale pink thread. Then a line of running stitch in the gap using a dark pink weaving yarn, whipped with the same yarn.</li>
<li>bottom left - This time I started on the outside and worked in . It doesn't appear to make a great deal of difference where you start except that the ones started in the middle are more circular. It is two rows of running stitch in coton-a-broder, worked close together and with the same spacings.</li>
<li>top right and left - coral stitch spirals worked on top of each other using yarns already used in the sampler.</li>
</ul>

<br />
I became quite interested in the idea of one thread spiralling round another, which led me to the next sample (stitched area about 14cms square).<br />
Working from the outside in, I couched the thick pale pink wool and the dark green candlewick thread that I had overdyed. The second line in is a back stitch in a green sparkly thread. The thick wool is whipped with a hand dyed pink soft cotton and a green knitting tape, the green sparkly thread is whipped with a pink chenille thread, and the candlewick cotton is whipped with a dark green knitting tape.<br />
Then I added two rows of knotted chain stitch to fill in the gaps.<br />
<br />

<br />
Now a series of free motion machined samples - firstly some simple spirals (stitched area about 14cms x 10cms) , and then on one of my monoprinted fabrics from the previous chapter.<br />
<br />

<br />
Then I tried setting the machine up for whip stitch. In this first sample (stitched area about 16cms square) I used three different coloured threads - pink, dark green and variegated green and I tried different combinations. I set the machine up to do a zig-zag stitch.<br />
<br />
The "spotty" spiral (top right) happened accidentally. When I am doing free motion embroidery, I always bring the bottom thread through to the top, take a few stitches, and then cut off the ends. As I stitched, the top thread pulled through the stitches leaving the loops from the bobbin and I really liked the effect. I tried it again (centre left) to make sure it was repeatable.<br />
<br />
3.4.5<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPIY_EyaQIPfsvjS6VNxbTts30oEAOkwETu4fIFrrlqHjZSykltJ-AKOuEF2dhjJIoSwpHWEamk6L1hYLmfJWalmJZ-dY-9KQb_5-HKgjbko9bnEAWn6dshwI-sldx8TYC1qLH2i35mO4/s1600/image+3.4.5.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="311" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPIY_EyaQIPfsvjS6VNxbTts30oEAOkwETu4fIFrrlqHjZSykltJ-AKOuEF2dhjJIoSwpHWEamk6L1hYLmfJWalmJZ-dY-9KQb_5-HKgjbko9bnEAWn6dshwI-sldx8TYC1qLH2i35mO4/s320/image+3.4.5.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I noticed that if I worked quite fast, and made quite square spirals, I got a different quality of line when I was moving the hoop across than when I was moving it up and down. I widened the width of the stitch to its maximum, and made several spirals. (stitched area about 17cms square)<br />
<br />
3.4.6<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Then I decided to make a sample using the different line qualities. (stitched area about16cms x 10cms)<br />

<br />
Using the small gelli plate (16cms square) I monoprinted a spiral on top of the embroidered spiral, and then added the line, which is a piece of printed nylon chiffon torn into a strip, twisted and couched down with a machine embroidery thread.<br />

<br />
I took a ghost print from the gelli plate using a piece of tissue paper, which shows up the embroidered lines and I think is very delicate and beautiful. I wonder if it would be possible to iron it onto something and stitch into it - but then maybe not, it is so delicate and it would be very easy to overwork it and loose the delicacy. However, I might explore making some monoprints by pressing stitched pieces into the paint. That might make a more robust pattern that would take some stitching.<br />

<br />
The next sample is more whip stitching, this time using a straight stitch. I stitched this in one, trying to make small tight spirals in the middle and making them more open round the outside. It makes a beautiful knobbly texture on the back. (stitched area about 15cms square) I took the photographs on different days with different light, hence the colour variation - the top image is closer to the colour of the sample.<br />

<br />
I tried more whip stitch spirals, varying the colour of the thread in the bobbin and the top. The centre sample has been stitched very densely, and gives a beautiful texture on the back. For the bottom right sample I used two colours in the bobbin (pink and green) and pink in the top.<br />

For the last machine sample, I tried to set the machine up for cable stitch. I've tried doing cable stitch several times, and never been terribly happy with the results. I read some instructions that said not to engage the presser foot, and for my machine it appears to work OK. I've found I have to loosen the tension on the bobbin depending on the thickness of the yarn I'm using. However, no matter how much I loosen the bobbin tension, I am unable to get the thread to really loop - it's begun to happen in the top right sample, but not with any consistency. But, these are more successful than I have achieved before!<br />

I wanted to do another mainly hand stitched sample, and I wanted to try and interpret the lines on one of my spiral drawings from Chapter 2, so I made a selection.<br />

<br />
I then tried to select the basic bones of the spiral and drew them onto a piece of tracing paper, laid it on my fabric, and hooped it up. As my machine was still set up for cable stitch and stitched on the lines, tore away the paper, removed the hoop and stitched by hand. I'm reasonably pleased with the result, although I don't think its quite got the energy of the painted spiral.<br />

<br />
Firstly the pinks - weaving yarns, knitting yarns, ribbons, ricrac braid, soft cotton, coton a broder, pearl cotton, rayons, rayon machine embroidery threads, some hand dyed threads.<br />
<br />
And then the greens - pretty much the same mix, but also some natural and synthetic raffia, and some very old cotton candlewick thread (the blue green in the top right of the picture, which I shall try overdyeing).<br />
<br />
I couldn't resist putting them all together in a basket, and I added some green machine embroidery thread, which I realised I'd forgotten to add to the green threads.<br />

Since taking the photographs, I've found a pack of mixed threads, which I think I must have bought at Ally Pally last year - they are the perfect colour. I've also found some torn selvedges which I have added in to the pile.<br />

Apart from popping some threads and some torn selvedges into the dye when I am dyeing fabric, I think I have sufficient here for the rest of the module. However, I am off to the Festival of Quilts in a few days, and I shall probably bring back something to add!<br />
<br />
Then I turned my attention to fabrics, and discovered all sorts of things I had forgotten I had. Included in the piles are some of my own hand dyed cottons, chiffon scarves, some wonderful shot tafetta linings which I bought in a closing down sale for next to nothing, organza, net, silk dupion, and some bits and pieces that I have no idea what they are!<br />

Now threads. Along the top from left to right - bias strips of curtain voile, selvedge strips of curtain voile, 4 different weights of cotton thread. At the bottom are a variety of textured yarns which I found lurking in the bottom of my "natural" box of threads, and I have no idea what they are, so it will be very interesting to see what happens when I dye them.</div>

And finally, a couple of things for overdyeing. The top fabric looks like a piece of Laura Ashley curtain material, and I have no idea how it ended up in my stash. The bottom fabric is from first attempt at dyeing with indigo using scraps of curtain lining. The thread is the very old cotton candlewick thread which is lovely and thick, so I hope it takes the dye well.</div>

I also made a couple of simple shibori pieces. They haven't worked too well - I suspect they were in the dye too long - but they will make a nice background for samples in Chapter 4.</div>

And finally, the threads that I dyed. Reasonably pleased with these, they have all taken the dye to some extent or other, and I'm particularly pleased with the candlewick cotton, which I overdyed with yellow.</div>
<div>

<div>
Monoprinting on fabric</div>
<div>
I used acrylic paint in the same colours as I used with the monoprinting on paper, and I didn't add any fabric medium. I used the 10" x 8" gelli plate.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I used 4 different types / colours of fabrics - the first four are on the shot taffeta, the next one on a piece of dyed cotton, and the rest on undyed cotton. The last one is made up of all the shadow prints. Some of these have worked beautifully, others less so. I don't think the photographs do them justice.</div>

<br />
I made them using the 10" x 8" gelli plate - it was the first time I had used it, and I really enjoyed it. I used Liquitex acrylic paint in 6 colours - green gold, vivid lime green, brilliant yellow green, medium magenta, light portrait pink, and iridescent rich copper. I also used iridescent antique gold once, but didn't like it, so didn't use it again.<br />

This last print is made using about 7 or 8 ghost prints overlaid.<br />
<br />
Finally in this chapter, are some computer generated images. First, I scanned in two of my images from earlier in the chapter, opened them using Paint Shop Pro X, and then used Effects - Distortion Effects - Twirl. With the second image I used it repeatedly.<br />

It was OK as far as it went, but I was being far too literal, a problem which I tend to suffer from.<br />
<br />
Sian gave me lots of ideas for pushing things further and freeing things up a bit, and this first batch of drawings were made before Summer School. They are all on A2 cartridge paper, and 2 colours of ink. The first few were made with a 1" brush. I had in mind the scrappy little drawing of steam billowing out of a chimney which was in my last but one post. The added lines are oil pastel and felt tip pen.<br />

It struck me that if I used a bigger brush then I would have spiral staircases. I found a tatty old 5" brush in the garage, and it made lovely marks. I added the linear marks using the edge of a piece of card.<br />

One of the things that Sian suggested was to draw some lines on the back of one of my black and white drawings from the last but one post. The idea is to cut on the lines and mount the cut shapes on to black paper to introduce thin black lines into the design. She put some work with bicycle wheels she had been doing using this technique on to her blog for me to see.<br />
<br />
For this first one, I simple drew some simple radiating lines on the back of the drawing, cut it up and laid it onto black paper. This is the actual A2 drawing.<br />

<br />
For the next sheet, I printed out the original drawing onto A4 paper and tried various different cuts. The results are stuck onto an A1 sheet of black paper.<br />

Then I had great fun making a series of patterns using spirals torn from some of my painted papers. None of these are stuck down, so it was very quick to make a series of patterns. Looking at these, the spirals are quite "rectangular" rather than "round".</div>

And how lovely to meet up with old friends and make new. Good to put faces to blogs!<br />
<br />
Farncombe Manor is half way up Fish Hill in the Cotswolds, overlooking Broadway and the Vale of Evesham - a new venue for Summer School. Excellent food, superb accomodation, including a wonderful studio, absolutely spectacular views. This is sunset over the Vale of Evesham - there had been several hot air balloons floating gently across, but by the time the sun got to this point, they were gone.<br />

I was in the group working with Sue Dove - an inspiring and generous tutor. Day 1 - making collages in sketchbooks, Day 2 - monoprinting and continuing with sketchbook work, Day 3 - we actually did some stitching!</div>

stairs and the vertical bars joining the handrails to the stairs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

These quilts were made in their thousands by women and men in Canada and shipped to the UK by the Canadian Red Cross and distributed to bombed out families.<br />
<br />
There are about 20 quilts on display, beautifully but simply made. Some of them are showing signs of wear (not surprising given that they are now getting on for 75 years old), and the colours are now faded and subtle. A lot of them were tied and not quilted.<br />
<br />
I couldn't take photographs, so you will have to make do with some drawings:<br />

There is a similar quilt in Sevenoaks Museum, made in the early 1900s by a lady living in Sevenoaks, and that too is made from a tailor's samples book. I was lucky enough to attend a 3 day workshop about 18 months ago, the aim being to make a quilt using the tailor's samples quilt as inspiration. The drawings and notes I made at the time are all in pencil and haven't scanned well enough to include, but here is the piece I made. It's about 26" x 16", has been deliberately left raw edged to reflect the condition of the original quilt. What entranced me about the original quilt was the diversity of woven patterns and textures, which I tried to reflect in the very dense quilting. The piecing is English Paper piecing, and the fabrics I have used are mainly Oakshott cottons,.<br />

In case you are wondering where the bright orange came from, the backing of the original quilt had gone apart from a narrow strip down one side - a reference to it had to be included!Kentish Maidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04529151812151193139noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297433756570257323.post-90409603208566125172013-01-30T07:19:00.000-08:002013-01-31T01:15:45.824-08:00Module 3 Chapter 1Research for Spirals - man-made and natural<br />
<br />
I started by googling "spirals" and found this beautiful collection of <a href="http://spiral.gallery.sytes.org/">spirals</a>, both man-made and natural. This includes images of plants, spiral staircases, and artworks.<br />
<br />
Next, I googled "<a href="http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=spirals+in+nature&hl=en&tbo=u&tbm=isch&source=univ&sa=X&ei=4_EIUd31JNCT0QXO44DQCQ&ved=0CDIQsAQ&biw=1366&bih=643#hl=en&tbo=d&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=spirals+in+nature&oq=spirals+in+nature&gs_l=img.1.0.0l2j0i5j0i24l4.58182.65628.3.71025.16.16.0.0.0.0.134.907.14j2.16.0...0.0...1c.1.UIxnN4RdGi4&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&bvm=bv.41642243,d.d2k&fp=c704eb7fbfafcc8&biw=1366&bih=643">spirals in nature</a>", "<a href="http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=spirals+in+nature&hl=en&tbo=u&tbm=isch&source=univ&sa=X&ei=4_EIUd31JNCT0QXO44DQCQ&ved=0CDIQsAQ&biw=1366&bih=643#hl=en&tbo=d&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=spirals+in+architecture&oq=spirals+in+architecture&gs_l=img.12..0i24.209777.218540.5.221024.13.4.0.9.9.0.205.324.3j0j1.4.0...0.0...1c.1.ehT92VF58mg&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&bvm=bv.41642243,d.d2k&fp=c704eb7fbfafcc8&biw=1366&bih=643">spirals in architecture</a>", and "<a href="http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=spirals+in+nature&hl=en&tbo=u&tbm=isch&source=univ&sa=X&ei=4_EIUd31JNCT0QXO44DQCQ&ved=0CDIQsAQ&biw=1366&bih=643#hl=en&tbo=d&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=spirals+in+shells&oq=spirals+in+shells&gs_l=img.12...117548.123204.7.125642.7.7.0.0.0.0.109.314.6j1.7.0...0.0...1c.1.drDz76nnUW8&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&bvm=bv.41642243,d.d2k&fp=c704eb7fbfafcc8&biw=1366&bih=643">spirals in shells</a>", all of which produce a huge and bewildering array of beautiful images of spirals.<br />
<br />
Spirals are everywhere - I need to try and concentrate on some particular areas!<br />
<br />
Step 2 was to try and find a definition of spiral:<br />

Finally architecture. I've only included one image here - a page removed from a magazine many years ago. I think its a picture of the stairs in Coco Chanel's flat in Paris. I find it fascinating, probably because of the strips of mirror on the wall fracturing the reflections..<br />

I am fascinated by this image and by the many images of circular staircases in the "spirals in architecture" link above. I am planning to start work on Chapter 2 by making a series of drawings based on these images.Kentish Maidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04529151812151193139noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297433756570257323.post-69411578487619073192012-10-15T01:36:00.001-07:002012-10-15T01:36:56.502-07:00Module 2 - loose endsEach module requires costings, timings, an evaluation of the final piece, plus an awareness of relevant health and safety issues.<br />

<b><u>EVALUATION OF FUNCTIONAL 3D EMBROIDERED ITEM</u></b></div>
<div>
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div>
The completed embroidered assessment piece for Module 2 is a vessel based on the design topic of animal markings.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<u>How do you feel about the resulting conclusion?</u></div>
<div>
My aim was to make a sculptural vessel which could be used as a container for say pot pouri, although I would display it simply as a sculptural piece.</div>
<div>
I was keen to find a way of making it out of one layer of fabric and chose pelmet vilene. I discovered that by attaching threads and strips of fabric to one side of the vilene using an embellisher, I created a shadow of the "front" on the "back" which I really liked. The embellisher also softened the vilene and made it more pliable, but care needs to be taken not to weaken the vilene.</div>
<div>
It was an easy decision to put the textured side inside the vessel rather than on the outside, because looking at the vessel, because of its shape, you tend to see more of the inside. </div>
<div>
Generally I am extremely pleased with the outcome. I particularly like the translucency when there is light behind it, which I had not expected. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<u>Is it fit for its purpose - give reasons?</u></div>
<div>
I think it is a very beautiful shape and therefore very visual. Thanks to the lead curtain weight sewn between the two layers of the base it is very stable, and would therefore act as a container.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<u>If you were asked to make it again, what changes would you make to the way you designed it and the way you made it?</u></div>
<div>
There are three aspects I would look at if I were to make it again.</div>
<div>
I would look at the curve of the top which is very important to the overall look of the piece, to see whether it could be further refined. In particular I would see whether the short edge at the join could be shorter, making a more dramatic line.</div>
<div>
I would also look at the treatment of the edge, to see if I could find a way of making it more ethereal. I like the way the strips of fabric extend beyond the edge, but I don't like the solidity of the cut edge of the vilene. </div>
<div>
I would also see if there is a different fabric I could use as the base fabric. It would need to be self supporting after it had been embellished, so it may be that the vilene is the best choice. </div>
<br />
<br />
<br />

between, all of equal length. The small off shoots to the outline are also
worked on this first journey. making them like a satin stitch. When the end of
the line is reached at B, the needle turns back for its second journey, making
an exactly similar running stitch.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Because of the large scale and the need for precision,

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In her early black and white works, she uses simple shapes or lines , repeats them and changes their rythms to give the illusion of
movement, three dimensions and sometimes colour – making the eye and the brain
do the work. It is said that some of her early paintings and the paintings of
other op-artists caused nausea and the
feeling of seasickness in some viewers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

changing direction where it intersects with a series of invisible offset circles. They
both give a strong sense of movement as well as the impression of depth.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

different ways. It was artists such as Monet and Seurat who taught us to make
paint behave as light does, by dividing up the colour on the canvas, so that it works optically, only
mixing in the actual process of seeing it when the painting starts to live.”</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>

BURBIDGE</span></u></b><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I have chosen Pauline Burbidge as the third artist to
study for a number of reasons. I have admired her work ever since it first
started becoming known to the public in the 1970s / 1980s; she has worked in
black and white a lot; and I was fortunate enough to see her retrospective
exhibition at the Festival of Quilts at
the NEC in August</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Published to go with the exhibition is a catalogue “Pauline
Burbidge Works between 1975 and 2012” Apart from two short introductory essays,
Pauline has written the commentary herself, and it explains how and why she
started making quilts and how and why her work has developed and changed over
the years.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">It is fascinating to discover that one of the influences
on her early quilts, which are geometric
and often include a lot of black and white, was Bridget Riley. Good examples are Maple Leaf Quilt (1975) and
Mirrored Steps (1983), both of which are illustrated in the catalogue, but I
can’t find any images on line.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In the mid eighties, she started to introduce collage
techniques and piece in a freer way. A good example of this is<a href="http://www.artstream.com/pburbidge/pink-fish"> The Pink Fish</a>
(1991).
Initially she worked with templates, but gradually she started cutting the
fabric shapes directly and bonding then in place. She made a number of large studio quilts, often in series, eg the Reflections series, and inspired by the countryside around her. A lovely example is Dancing Lines which, along with other studio quilts, can be seen on <a href="http://www.paulineburbidge-quilts.com/studio-quilts.php">Pauline's website</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In 2005, after having made a number of studio quilts, she started to develop a series of what she describes as "<i>a new designer/maker range of quilts that were quicker to make and therefore more commercial", </i>which she called the Quiltline Collection<i>.</i>These are generally whole-cloth quilts, machine stitched using a Grace quilting frame,with colour applied afterwards with a sponge. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Also during this period she developed a series of what she calls "Stitch Drawings" a selection of which can be seen on <a href="http://www.paulineburbidge-quilts.com/stitch-drawings.php">her website</a>. These are quite small, maybe 30 or 40cms. She draws with her machine stitched lines, applying paint afterwards using nature as her inspiration. The heading at top of the pages of her website include some sketchbook drawings which I think must have been preparatory to this body of work.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">She has now returned to making big studio quilts eg Lindisfarne Revisited, which was in the exhibition. She describes the making process in great detail in the book.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

In her comments about my last post, Sian gave me considerable food for thought and I began to doubt my critical faculties. So I tried to address the various points she made.</div>

I couldn't make the join (using 2 strips of iron-on vilene to hold the edges together) for a couple of days as I didn't have any, but when I finally got some, it worked so well, and I was so pleased with how it was looking, I decided to press ahead and treat it as the finished item, and not as a prototype.<br />
So here it is.<br />

The pelmet vilene is quite translucent, and the fabric strips on the inside show through quite strongly. The outside is actually quite delicate, so for these remaining images, I moved the bowl to a different position so there was no light behind it.<br />
