More texture ideas

Ihave done more drawings of texture from my images and then tried to develop these ideas into raised, 3D textures using anything I could find and think of. Here are the results'

Chapter 11 Design from Landscape

I have used a few of my photos to look at mark making. I would like to stick with black and white so I have looked at white paint, watercolour and acrylic, and oil pastels on black paper, and oil pastels and wax crayons under black ink on white paper.

Chapter 10 Stitch to Translate

I have tried to translate some of my rubbings into stitches but found it difficult to do anything varied as so many of my photos of trees are just stems, twigs etc. So I have gone ahead and made 3 samples but I am going to take some new photos for the resolved sample and make some more studies in embroidery for that.

Chapter 9 Threads and Stitchery & gathering(ch6)

Lastly I have taken rubbings from paper relief surfaces. I tried chalk, wax crayons, watersoluble crayons and oil pastels on tissue paper. I found the water soluble ones the best. I am posting one example but the others will be best shown alongside the embroidery interpretation.

The next 2 samples were made using a machine to gather and several types of fabric were used, fed in at different angles. The coloured sample includes plastic fruit netting as one of its materials.

Ialso found my gathering samples. The first 2 were done by hand, marking the spaces in the traditional way for smocking.

Irepeated these stitches but in a looser fashion and often composite to create a more interesting range of effects.

Next I decided to use fly and featherstitches and looked at various ways to form them.

Next I am posting several stitch samples from my previous c&g course showing various stitches, in one all are used as a couching tool.

I have made a display of some of the threads in my collection. None of these are new so I cannot assign a price. The thicker threads are couched on.
