Project 2 Developing your marks: Stage 4 Preparing to create textures

For this exercise, i had to find marks i had created in project one, and explore ways i could  recreate them on fabric using stitching.
I had a go at recreating a few of these.
The first mark i decided to recreate was this one. Its quite heavy, bumpy and busy.

 I decided to use this fabric, that is quite busy and covered with splodges that look similiar to those in the mark above.

 I then added a mixture of straight stitches and french knots over the fabric in different shades of green to represent the differences in the heavier marks and the lighter ones. i sewed on a few beads and buttons also to represent the really big heavy marks in the picture.

The next mark i decided to recreate was this blue one. It uses a variety of shades of blue and is very bumpy in texture

I decided the best way to recreate a bumpy texture would be with french knots. I used a plain fabric as i wanted to tightly pack my knots, i used a variety of different blue threads and a grey to represent those in the picture. I wanted it to be quite busy, messy and bumpy.

The next mark i would recreate is this one. Its quite messy and fast. It features heavy, dark lines, gradually getting lighter.
I will use different shades/colours of threads to represent the different shades in the picture.

There is a gradient of shading of scribbles in this mark. I used satin stitch to recreate the scribbles with different spacing between the stitches, giving it a messier, faster look. I used different shades of green to represent the different shades in the picture.

 I began using couching and embrodiery thread to recreate this mark

For this mark, i cut strips of green fabric, and assembled them on my hoop attaching them using couching, i rolled up various shades of green thread and attached these with couching too. i then used french knots to create the yellow dots in the background.
