Week Fiftteen

From looking back at my previous samples I have created I realised I had not been sewing in the traditional tapestry method much, this was purely because it is a lengthy process and my aim was trying to use it in a non conventional way. So I thought I would have a go at sewing on different fabrics to challenge this leading me on to the experimentation of plastic like the sample above. I understand that the circles being translated from my previous patterns are not perfectly round but I like this feel, the butterfly wing I took my inspiration from originally were not perfect. If I wad to do this sample again I would try and use water soluble to follow the pattern instead of the original mesh for tapestry this makes it easy sewing but sometimes creates it to thick and as you can see on the images above it can sometimes leave the white of the mesh sticking out of the stitch.
