'Doing' my idea

Instead of continually thinking about it I thought I'm just going to get on and do it and see if it works !

My idea was to create rooms using machine embroidery by asking people to look into their homes and photograph gere favourite room/corner/object/collection anything that's personal to them so I could translate it with a modern take on the word stitch and highlighting objects within that room using fabric I have designed printed and made to translate their personality !

So here are some of my line drawings so far ... 

Ellen's dressing table 
Original photograph.


Saskias favourite book- original photograph.
My drawing.


Marias bedroom - original photograph.
Linear drawing.


Machine embroidery of linear line. Easily translated into stitch ! 

This is a print from ba7, I will use these to cut up and incorporate into people's room to express personality....
The blue isn't really working here due to high contrasts that does not compliment ...
I like the delicate looking pleats here adds a feminity to the piece which incorporates a watercolour digital print and traditional hand embroidery to encompass the skills I have learnt. In doing this Aswell it contextualises my prints into a interior context.
