Firstly I began to sort out all my fabrics, I have been meaning to do this for a long time as they were in a jumble, so I arranged them in colour order and then bagged them up. This was certainly worth the effort as I can now find the colour that I need and I only have to go through one bag to find the type of fabric I want to use. I can also see what colours I am lacking so if I am out and about I can keep an eye out for these.
Stage 2
I looked through my sketch book and chose the 6 drawings, but narrowed it down to 2 drawings that I wanted to develop for my 2 final samples. I then develop my first drawing further to make it more interesting to work with.
My original drawing of a pineapple.
I loved the colours and the repetitive shapes in the image. I used a simplified technique of mono printing by rolling paint onto glass, scratching into the paint and then laying the paper onto the glass and rubbing lightly on the back, pulling the paper off and once dry adding colour to that. I also used paper collage. I am very pleased with how these came out.
I then did some overlays. I do not think they were overly successful but I feel that I got the idea of using the fabric like this to see what works together and how fabric react when being layered, as some fabrics change their shade when they are against others.
I feel that the colour aspect of these collages, works best against my drawing.
