Module 3, chapter 5, picture 20, 21 and 22
Here is a collection of twisted, knotted, plaited, wrapped and stitched cords. I have used fancy yarns, thorn stripps of fabrics, chenille, wool, silk yarns, organza stripps and  raffia, gift ribbons, painted tywek-stripps.
Even so I made cords with three krocket- cords, which I put together with my enbellisher. At last you can see my knotted, plaited and wrapped cords on picture 23 using the following knots:
-barrel knots, doubble buttonhole knots, macrame knots, ordinary knots, repeat half knots, weaving with 4 cord and one threaded beads, yellow turks head knot.



 
 
Module 3, chapter 6, picture 23
This picture shows different tassels. I have used different materials, hand- as well as machine made  tassels. The materials are the same a used in the chapter 5.



 Module 3, chapter 7
In this chapture I have made buttons.
Picture 24 shows the wrapped shapes used big and small shapes from cardboard.


 Picture 25 shows dorset buttons. I have used thorned stripps, fancy yarns, beads and stitching yarns.


Picture 26 shows toggles, beads made from metable materials- viscose felt, nylon fabrics and tyvek. The wrapped layers are painted and zapped with hot gun. I have also used a hot soldering iron to make patterns on the toggles.

 
 
Module 3, chapter 8, picture 27
In this chapter I have to make a bead-sampler. This sampler I want to use as a cover for a book or a box. The background fabric is kunin felt. With the embellisher I stitched down different blue silk material. I have done this in my coulor scheme. I used different methods of application to sew the beads and the  sequins. Also two bundles of beaded fringes are stitched. The three sequences on the right side are under a transparent sheet of organza. Spaces between are stitched by hand.



Module 3, chapter 9, picture 28, 29, 30, 31 and 32
The first picture is my starting point for the design development of this movement..This picture I have painted with acrylic paint at the beginning of this module.



 I cut this picture in sections and turned the pieces in the same way as in module two. You can see the pencil-lines before cutting.



These pictures show more ideas of spiralic designs. All these ideas are done with paper.



 The next picture is a design which I have layed with selfmade cords and buttons. background is an overdyed silk.


The next four pictures show the stepps to the resolved sampler.

Layer 1: My overdyes silk
Layer 2: Done with watersoluble, snipped fragments of  blue organza. This layer was than embellished on my first layer and sewed down with free machine motion.
Layer 3: Consists of machine-stitched organza cords. The hole piece was than stitched by hand and I added toggles.

Chapter 3
Picture 14: You can see my different fabrics and yarns in several polythene bags with procion dye.




Picture 15: These are my results of dying. randomdying, dipdying. scrunched dying. I  have left my fabrics in dying bath. for several days to get an intensive colour.


 
 
 
Picture 16 shows  fabrics and yarns after dying I did monoprinting. You can see the result on the right site of the picture
 
.
 
Picture 17 is also a monoprinting and irontransfere.
 


Chapter 4
Picture 18 shows many yarns for machine and hand stitching.



Picture 19: I made a sampler with hand and machine stitching. I have use many different yarns. I made spirale shapes with large, tiny stitches, overlapping spirales to get a network.

Module 3
I started in the middle of august. In september I had an interruption for several weeks, because our house needed a renovation. Now I started again.

Chapter1, picture 1,2 and 3

I collected many spirals; naturales and man-made structures. You can also see my drawings of spral shapes between the photographs.




Picture 4
Much more drawings of spirals and a few rubbings.


Chapter 2

The colour-scheme, which I choose is blue and yellow/ golden.

In the following picture 5 you can see a collage from different selfmade papers.I have used different technics to get interresting survaces; evenso I have mixed the colours to get different hues, tints and shades.



Simple two dimensional shapes from my papers. picture 6 and 7




Picture 8 and 9 show  examples of  three dimensional shapes from corrugated card.


 

 
 
 
 
Picture  10 is a collage from many monoprinting papers. I have use acrylic paints.



Picture 11 shows my paints and colours for the painting my papers and fabrics.



Spiraldrawing using a computer programme. To work with a computer paint programme is not my favorite. I am not very familiar with the computer., picture 12 is a black and white ecercise and 13 show two examples in colours.

Module 2, chapter 13


Picture 91 shows the Holbein stitch. You can see the technic of this stitch. Piczure 92 is a sampler from this stitch.



Hans Holbein the Younger was born in Augsburg in Germany and travelled in 1526 to England. His pictures of Anne Boleyn are world famous. He produced not only portraits but also designs for juwellery and otther precious opbjects. On his paintings you can see the exact reproduction of the beautiful stitching dresses.(93)
Blackwork is marked by tendernes and retention. The English poet Chaucer mentioned this technic in his Canterbury Tales. Also Catharina Aragon made the blackwork popular at her time.





Image 94 is  an example of black work.

Bridget Riley was born 1931 in EnglandIn 1960 she worked in black and white and she envolved a style in which she explored that two dynamic dimensional effects appear as three dimensional. She belonged to the Op-Art artists. The Op-Art style followed the Pap-Art style.




 The dynamic impressen results by using lines which run from thick to thin in geometric order by using contrasting colours.

Our own choose artist is Victor Vasarely. He was born in 1906 in Hungary. He lived the most time of his life in France. He worked as a grafic artist. He developed the geometric abstract art.  He worked with optical, dynamic, moving impressions. With this technic he produced optical illusions. His designs with lines make the impression of animal fur patterns.
The whole module based on playing with black and white lines to make two and three dimensional patterns like Vasarely and Riley.



Module 2, chapter 12



The next picture (83) shows two more design for a hat.


Of course there are many possibilities for uppersite of the hat- such as hexagons or a big spiral line. I decide for a technic, which I  used in chapter ten. This picture /84) is the beginning of the upper site. These are my painted, stamped, bleached fabrics. I want to make this crazy work with many bump ( thick knotted cord).




The next picture (85) shows many examples for the cylinder. I have made many examples so I have a great selection.





On picture 86  you can see the two parts of the hat. These two parts are sewed by machine. Now I can start with the handstitching to get more integrate pattern and colour. This is for me a great pleasure.






I did many, many stitching, spider stitch of a cut through felt ball, Bullion stitch, fly stitch, knot straight stitch. (87)








After I sewed the two parts of the hat together I did more stitching especially many long Bullion stitch and made the tail with perls and a black tassel. (88,89,90)
