I have only just started using photoshop, but I am quite please with the results, I know there is so much more that it can do. So my first idea for my resolved sample is one of these.
Playing around with paper shapes on brown paper. I decided to develop this idea further with fabric, paper and stitch.
Firstly I appliqués some lace stars onto brown paper and blue sheer fabric as the backing, I then added machine stitched circles all over the piece.
Sian had suggested taking my circle idea further and try to create star like shapes from the overlapping circles. I tried this out in an earlier sample but wasn't particularly happy with the results, I didn't like the regularity of the shapes I had formed. This time however the star shapes are not that clear to see.
Here is the reverse of the piece.
The piece was then painted using fabric paints, rinsed under the tap and rubbed to create holes, heat gun was the applied to distress. The lace and paper. No to leave it to dry and the maybe add some hand stitching. I feel this type of technique could be used to make a distressed Turkish textile tile. It would need to be symmetrical rather than random as it is here.
