Module 4, chapter 1:
After a long time I jumped into module 4. The first task is a lettering research and therefor I took  my box with envelopes from received letters und made a collage of these.  I have paid special attention  on diversity.
Picture 1:

Picture 2 is a selection of lebels.

 

 

Chapter 2: Lettering design:
Picture 3 shows different designs of lettering.

Picture 4 shows tools for the following exercises.

Picture 5: I choose the simple word "shape" for the next exercises.
On the foto I described what technique I have used.

Picture 6 is also an exercise with different tools.

 

Picture 7 shows different possibilities for designing lettering- for example masking tape, placed on a relief surface under the paper, oil paint sticks.

Picture 8 shows all exercises on a black background. On  the left upper side the paper was painted with black ink. The word "shape" was written with bleach with three different brush pencils. Beneath I used a black card and I wrote the word with deluded white acrylic paint with my finger. On the upper right side the paper was painted with black ink. After drying I wrote the word with a thick brush pencil with bleach and than I wrote with a thin brush with white paint. At least the excess was dropped down. The last two exercises were done by hot glue. The background was painted with black acryl and black ink. For the rub on I used golden and blue color.

Blocks of  writing:
Picture 9: There are four blocks . The left upper block: The first layer was written with a pencil and gray deluded acrylic paint. Between these words (second layer) I wrote with a black felt pen the word "shape"- 3 rows-. At least the third layer was written with a Pipette with black ink.
In the right upper block I used four different felt pens.
The left under block I wrote zig-zag with a brush pencil. The four interspaces are filled up with a fine liner. At least I printed  with big letters "SHAPE".
The right under block: The word "shape" was written in waves. In the next step I printed by two different stemps the word "shape".

Picture 10: The left upper block shows the word "shape" long drawn- out.
The block aside: A blue zig-zag with the word "shape". The interspaces  are filled with the word "shape" written forwards and backwards.
The left under block: The first layer was done with tooth picks - black ink. The second layer is written with rows of  fine liner. The third layer with black felt pen. The fourth layer was made with golden felt pens- one fine and one thick.
The right block above: I wrote for the first layer rows of the word "shape". I did the same on a sheet of transparent paper. The transparent paper I turned 90 degrees around and glued this on the first layer.

Picture 11: The first block: The first layer was written by white oil sticks. For the second layer the whole paper was painted with black ink. The third layer was done with a golden Edding pen.
The second block: The first layer was written with masking fluid. For the second layer the whole paper was painted with black ink. The masking fluid was removed. Than the block was roughly painted.
The third block: The first layer:The whole paper was painted with black ink. The second layer: The word "shape" was written with bleach. For the third layer I used the hot glue for writing. The last layer consists of treasure gold.
The last block is an collage of left overs.

Picture 12: The word "shape" is done by rub in different directions.

Module 3, chapter 12, research three artists

Zandra Rhodes:
She is a very famous designer. She makes most extravagant garments. and she composes also equipments for theatres. She works together with other artists for film productions.

She loves bright colours. Her latest is a digital study collection project.
 The next picture shows one of this collection. It is a part of a dress (shoulder), very spiraling design.

Artist two is Deirdre Hawken: She is especially an artist for extravagant hats as well for equipment for balletts, operas. She uses very different materials. In her work a strong movement. I have selected a picture of three little spiraling hats. Famous is her lobster hat.

The third artist is Harald Glööckler. He is namedc " the prince of pompös". He is a very extremely fashion designer. He is born in germany. He loves so as the two preview artists extraordinary equipments for fashion jewellery, and opera. All his projects are luxury products. All these three artists represent in my mind extremely positions.

Evaluation module 3:

I am very happy with the result. The combination blue and golden yellow is for this luxury fingerless gloves very wearable.

This pair of gloves can I use for special events.

If I am asked to make it again, I am sure to do it in different way because it depents on my mood.

The cost of materials and recording time.

Authenticity of my work:

 

 

 

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.
