This is a piece I made whiles I was experimenting with different media and techniques when I trying to find out what my pathways. I tried using different media in the first term of collage. I started to go
to textiles workshop to get a feel of what I could create with a sawing matching and different material like silk, cotton, thread, wool act.
once I got used to using a sawing machine I tried to draw using the sewing machine, at first it was a bit complex as it wasn’t what I was used to. after allot of practice and many fails I started to create my
pieces to create my textile pieces I took an image of myself and uploaded it o
Photoshop and started to create a stencil witch would make it easer for me to create as it would be broken into 3 sections.
once I created my stencil I colored each section in different colors to see what would work. After asking my fellow artist I decided to keep the colors as black, red and yellow as the color combination was more eye catching then the others. I then sketch my stencil onto a white fibric and started to draw using the sewing matching.
