Before I get ahead of myself and
start thinking about using colour, I want to start with small scale black and
white drawings that are small selections from the chosen floral design before I
begin to make larger drawings. Because some of the selections have smaller
detail, I decided to draw them out using needle and black thread. I haven’t
sewn drawings in a while so each drawing did take a lot of time but some of the
results were worthwhile.
I
decided to add a few fields down before sewing onto them to give them shadow
and a little bit of extra detail. To create these fields I used black ink and
applied it to the paper in different ways, stripes, random and splatter. These
experiments did work to add extra detail so I tried one small scale experiment
using coloured ink splatter then blown onto it through a straw creating a
random splatter pattern. The overall experiment was successful but the colour
choice could be re-thought and the scale could be larger.
