Module 3, chapter 10 and 11 picture 33
This chapter I have to make a designing an accessory based on the spiraling design using ideas from the beginning of this module. This is mine designboard of drawings. I have considered what I can do for this accessoir. I have decided for a pair of fingerless gloves. The picture shows 4 different ideas for these gloves. The drawings show different manners of design. There are some little free aereas. These aereas are for spontanous stitchery. I love a little bit space for spontanous working. The main lines are predetermined.

 

 

 

 

From all these designdrawings I developed the next concept for fingerless gloves. Picture 34

 

 

 

 



The next pictures show the designboard of materials and stitchvariations. I have used wool loden. The frayed edge which arises in the production is the upperside of the gloves. I love this part of the fabric, so I used them. Picture 35a and 35b

 

 

 

 

 

The next picture shows a bonded fabric. The first layer is a golden fabric, this layer was bonded  with  a layer of cunin felt. This created fabric was processed with a hot tool.

(Of course I considered the safety rules in this module by using hot tools, dyes and bleach. If possible I make these works outside, weare gloves and a face mask.) This fabric I will use for an interesting spiraling and a circle shape. I also used different feet for machinestitchery and special bobbin for thick threads. Picture 36 and 37

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



The following two pictures show the different stage of working on my fingerless gloves. Picture 38 and 39

On picture 39  on the right side  you can see the fabric pinned together to form a tube, ready for sewing and stitching.


Picture 40 shows my lining fabric. It is a black cotton jersey. Picture 40

 

Picture 41 shows the fingerless gloves with lining.

Picture 42, 43, 44 and 45. These four picture show my pair fingerless gloves in different positions.. These gloves are made for the evening and special events.

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.
