Paper and Thread

31/7/2013

In most of the HND Textiles classes we work our designs out in paper using paints, dyes and stitch along with other media to add texture. Progress is made by working through our source subject reseach to create around 10 or more different design ideas. These are initially sketches which we then make up in paper. The 'best' ones are used to inform the final piece of textile work. Today I thought I would share a few of my paper designs:
Picture
Textile for Commission - Isle of Skye. Mark making with graphite, stitch and cut outs
Picture
Isle of Skye ~ Mystery Skye Sky maps. Layered paint background divebombed with a bingo dobber
Picture
Painted paper and stitch ~ the blue/green is layered with crumpled tissue for texture
Design source: Ballet Russes. Informed by Leon Bakst's set design for Scheherazade 
combined with the chevrons that Matisse used on a costume for a mourner

Also based on set design for Scheherazade ~ layered textured papers

Ballet Russes again ~ swirls and whirls with wax and poured paints
From graphite to bright colour! I love to use vibrant colours but I'd also like to challenge myself by working in monotones. Ballet Russes as a theme was clearly all about colour and movement, but perhaps next semester will see me toning it down a bit ... depending on the themes of course!!
