Block 1 - Stitch

Reflection of the Stitch Block

(1/11/10 - 12/11/10)

Stitch

The week when we started this block I got so excited to get stuck into producing practical work and being hands on.  I always get some sort of thrill when working on a sewing machine.  I find the type of objects I draw from I can manipulate into stitch without difficulty.  I feel it comes naturally and ideas come visually to me.  I really got stuck into this block and thought I produced work that linked well as a series relating back to my organic theme.   My work gains from being able to use mixed media and a variety of materials, I like being experimental and I feel this comes across in my work.  I believe the samples I have produced are quite fashion based and I think this may be the route I would like to go down, although I realise I should try knit and weave because samples in those blocks can be based on fashion.
