This task involved me creating three sewing pieces from the seed drawings I drew.
This piece required allot of layering of fabric and thread. I got so many fabrics to create different shades of the seed head. I am very proud of the felt I’d sewn on the top with the golden thread because it was a material I never thought of using because it was so different but I decided to be spontaneous. It’s suppose to represent the purple fluff on the seed head. I am very impressed with the patterns on the seed head that I have managed to sew on. That method required patients and lots of black thread. This is my favourite sewing piece because there are many techniques and lots to look at. I mostly love how neat and realistic it looks.
This hand stitched piece also required layering for the background just so it didn’t look plane and dull. The main stitch technique I used was the running stitch as you can see same technique just different thickness of thread. I would have used other stitch techniques but I just felt like this was enough for what I wanted to stitch. When sewing the seed head I decided to use thicker thread because it was quicker and required less effort than using thinner thread. From the outcome of this stitch piece.
With this stitch piece I decided to keep it simple to show true appreciation for the stitch technique. I gave it two different layers in a darker shade so the running thread technique could really stand out. This stitch piece did take time only because I remember I had to take out some of the stitches because they weren’t tidy. I don’t have any strong opinions on this stitch piece, maybe I could have sewn a around it again in a darker thread colour to really make it stand out but other than that I really liked how I tried to make the outlining pop.
