Developing Creative Textiles-Personal Project: Sketchbook (Theme-Glass: Furnace Bricks/Old Glass & Bottled Glass/New Glass)

Start of Sketchbook-Introduction including Project proposal

Added Imagery from furnace brick
 
Use of acrylic paint sketch-colour sample from furnace brick
 
Free machine embroidery sample from example of furnace brick

Imagery from furnace brick with tonal line sketches-surface design

continuing use of imagery of furnace bricks and line drawings

Use of collage technique-Exploration of colour and texture using acrylic paints over newspaper

Continuing experimentation with acrylic paint and newspaper/card

Relief Printmaking Experiments using a range of inks and paper/card, to explore surface design-line, form, shape and structure

Free Machine Embroidery from printmaking to accentuate surface design

Glass on furnace brick-Image, tonal sketches & free machine embroidery sample

Glass on furnace brick-Image, tonal sketches...including exploration of shape, form and line
