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 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.

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.
Picture 18:

Frottage with different colors of oil paint sticks in different directions by turning the rubber plate.
Frottage in two diagonal directions with Neo Color.

Resist methods with crayons, ink, discharge and bleach:
Straight lines made by drawing with wax crayons with different colors to make a resist and than a wash with deluded ink.
Oil paint sticks and also a wash with ink.
Resist with oil pastels and a wash with water color light blue.
Resist with wax crayons a light wash with water color paints, this process was done two times.
Picture 22:

Chapter 2:
Designing with shapes and layers
Picture 28:
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.
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.
Picture 31:
This Piece of plastic is cut in wavy lines to glue them on paper to see in Picture 30.

Chapter 3:
Free machine stitchery:
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.
A sample with whip stitch, loose bottom and tighter top tension.
The first eight samples are done by straight stitch.
The following eight patches are done by zig-zag stitch.
Is a sample with different types of yarns with upside down. I have used cotton thread, silk, lana Madeira, Madeira decore and Sulky metallic.
This is the backside from my sample above. I find both sides interesting.
