My final Outcome..

When I looked back on my embroidery samples, I realised that my work appeared dull and not quiet following the theme that I had in mind, my embroidery samples were full of bright colours and not following any particular theme or pattern, my ideas were all over the place and I think it was clearly indicating that I was feeling very lost within my work, after having a tutorial, I felt it was vital that I needed to make these changes so that it became much clearer to both me and my tutors who would be marking my work. In weave, I was keen to make these changes so that I could see a clear difference on where I was going wrong, that way I was able to fix these problems. 

Although I worked individually, it was very useful to have group tutorials on my work because it enabled me to look and explore various processes and visualize other students ideas and there personal outcomes of the same brief. I found my group tutorials had a big affect on the progress of my work. From my tutorials I was advised to make a number of changes that were going to help the development of my work such as, colours, thread, yarn and material choice. 

My contextual practice research was vital to my understanding of the uses and variety in passimentrie. I looked across the art platforms to inform my visual research. Margo Selby's style of weaving was a great inspiration to me, as her work is a great proportion guide for me, I was able to learn how to create blocks and stripes of colour and pattern that were not only plain and simple but had a great amount of pattern amongst another pattern, an example of this is circles amongst stripes which I found particularly useful for my woven passimentrie. 

My new visual research had movements of vivid colour being revealed from a darker shade. I found that darker yarns with sections of vibrant ones lift the whole sample and give it a completely different look. I placed these vibrant colours in carefully so that my samples were showing a link to my drawings, the work then as a whole was showing movement and tones through out the whole of my project.
