My threads. I shall use also threads  bought from Anne Lange.

Picture 47:

Chapter 5:
Free machine stitchery to interpret drawings.



Picture 50:
I have made 3 different types of stitchery based on my drawing.
Left: a scrim, done with zig-zag stitch to get wavy lines. The threads were pulled together.
Middle: zig-zag stitch free hand .
Right: a double layer chiffon machine straight stitch with twin needles.



Picture 51:
5 exercises related to my drawing.
Left: callico, first I sewed with a thick yarn in wavy lines on my callico. In the gaps I sewed white bubbles.
Middle: on painted Bonda web I have sewed wavy bubbles.
Right: wavy lines and bubbles on scrim.
Left under: meandering in wip stitch in two colors about each other.
Right under: two layers chiffon with little pieces painted Bonda web between. Free hand stitching around the bubbles.

Picture 52:
3 exercises related to my drawing and fotograph.
Right upper: 2 layers of organza sewed in meandering and than melted partially away, but this effect can not bee seen on the foto.
Left under: here are 3 layers: first layer callico, second layer a fine layer wool, third layer Kozo faser, these 3 layers were sewed together in straight stitches.
Right under: scrim sewed with zig-zag stitch to get oval circles.


Picture 53:
Right upper: Baby wip sewed in long zig-zag lines related to my drawing.
Left under: painted callico even so stitched in long zig-zag lines.

Module 6:
During downloading the module 6, I noticed, that the topic of this module is sea and sky. By fortune I have booked a one day journey to Venice in a few days. The content of this study trip was: "The fabrics as dreams are made on". We visited the very famous and old  manufactories : Bevilaqua and Rubelli. These two are famous for their special kind of  silk velvet ( soprarizzo velvet). So I took many fotos from water during the journey.



 
Picture 1,2 and 3 show water surfaces with reflections, ripples, froth and bubbles.



Picture 4: pollution and reflections

 
Picture 5: waterreflections. The pictures above are taken in Venice.
 
 



 
Picture 6,7 and 8 are pictures our famous "Weissensee". There are interesting colors, textures, reflections and movements.

First row from left to right:
 First layer: oil pastels, green and the second layer  oil pen stick and than scratched.
 Drops of candle wax and than a thick layer of Neo Color and scratched in this piece.
 The first layer in oil pastel gray the next layer is blue oil pastel and scretched away the gray can not be seen.
 Two layers of hot wax the third layer was done with Neo Color than scratched.
 Two layers of Neo Color by changing the layers.
Second row from left to right.

The results are very different. To scrap away you need a heavy layer of crayon, but the color layers are not always to see.



Drawing with  frottage:

Picture 17:
Left side: frottage on a rubber mat with light blue crayons, straight lines, than wavy lines across the first layer with dark blue made on the side of the crayon.
The next one is made on mesh wire in scribble with Neo Color light blue, sky blue and yellow green.

Chapter 2:
Designing with shapes and layers

A few samples more from decorated papers in my colorscheme of my fotographs. More methods blue watercolor paint covered with salt and household foil with sponge. Papers with bleach, rubbing, resist and acryl were done in chapter 1.





Picture 29:
The foto shows the reflections of pollutions in the water. I have made a simple drawing.





Picture 30:
I have cut  two different papers ( left site) in wavy lines. Right you can see a piece of plastic. I made this by doing cut out pieces of plastic Shopping bags. These pieces were melted by ironing for glueing them together to demonstrate the water Pollution.

Chapter 3:
Free machine stitchery:

Picture 40:
This sample is made on my painted callico
From left to right and top down, all little  squares are done by the same cotton sewing yarn, I performed different effects of rhythm such as flowing, crossing, calm and overlapping:
circles, waves, combining of waves, zig-zag and circles, layers of straight stitch, overlapping little circles, overlapping larger circles, meandering, not closed circles, half circles, overlapping only in the middle, loosely straight lines, loosely wavy lines.
The folling eight samples are done by zig-zag stitches: loosely wavy line, loosely straight lines, compact zig-zag rows, rows of big zig-zag overlapping, circle lines, cross over, curves, compact rows of zig-zag stitches and than a second layer of big zig-zags.
