Module 1, Chapter 6, Image 13 and 14

Image 13 is a worksheet and shows different selfmade bonded fabrics.

Image 14 shows two layered stars from these selfmade bonded fabrics.

Module 1, Chapter 5, Image 11 and 12

Three different fabrics are bonded together with Bondeweb and printed with my stemp from chapture 2 and I made another stemp from the same shape only a bigger size.

Image 12 shows an organza with the big stamp.

Image 9 and 10

By image 10 I took a paper, which is painted on both sides and therefore I was able to fold back the outer edges.

Image 7 and 8

These are samples made from painted papers, gift papers and papers from shopping bags.

Design sheet C shows in the left upper corner a subdivided star shape. The right upper corner shows the same shape with gaps. The following two figures demonstrate a symmetrically design- one with a light background and the other with a dark background. All the figures have an interesting intervall.

Image 18 and 19

These are the elaborations of the worksheet Image 17. All the shapes have an interesting intervall.

Image 17

This is my worksheet for design sheet B. This worksheet shows the shape which I have choosen.

Image 16

Another shape with distorsion. The repeat pattern in the left upper corner belongs to image 15.

Image 15

For distorsion I have used Photoshop Elements 9 , but this software was new for me and so took a lot of time for the elaboration. I tried different ways of distorsion. The arrows show the direction of distorsion. The papers are painted with Procion.

Image 14

I have choosen the colours lime and violet from the colour circle. I made a mistake. When stiking I took a green paper for this sheet. This sheet has stars and crosses from coloured paper cut out with scissors, a zigzag scissars, cutting wheel, a craft knife and ripping the paper.

Image 12 and 13

These images show the stemp with acryl paint. This is not my favourite work- it is a mess.

Image 11, Image 11a

I made a stemp from the Iran star. At the beginning I made a drawing of the possibilities of this shape.
Image 11a is a worksheet for a stemp from a part of indiastar.I did not use it because i don`t love it.

Module one

In october 2008 I began with the online stitch course "liberal stitching" and so I learnt City and Guild and also Maren and Sandra who made this online workshop to. In september 2010 began Sandra and I with Distant Stitch by Sian Martin. Maren has started one year bevor.

Chapter 1
The difference between a cross and a star is that a cross has two lines, which cross its other and so develope four spaces. A star has three or more lines who make points. The shapes do not be symmetrically, they could have different angles.
I found so many shapes of stars and crosses in my surrounding since I began with this course ( presentpapers, ornaments on buildings, knotgarden, protecting caps for carwiels). A cross is in the christian religion a central symbol.
Any words: starline, stardom, starflour, starfish.
Crosspatch, crossroad, crosssection, crosswalk.
