Worked myself into a right lather - not in a good way

Last thing before the course broke up we were given a brief to design a collaborative "screening" for the 4 windows in the textile room of the new building. We were all excited about doing it so we are carrying on with it. We have a colour scheme we are all sticking to, and the themes are seed heads, waterfalls, I forget Sandra's and my armour. I want to work on 3D pieces, not flat, based on the plates in armour and how they curve and join. So I started sketching.

So under the kick up the bum scheme, and under the word of my Aussie Mum, I got on and did something......

Working on scales with the needle and no thread for a lacey effect.

Working on some of the shapes from my doodling of late. Well i am not happy with any of it! But I have cleared my head and realised that I am going about this the wrong way. I am working in the wrong materials. I need to have something more transparent, not so heavy. So thanks Doreen, and Jan or talking it through with me. At east I know what I don't want.

I did some FME as well, to see how it would go, if I do it again I would quilt it as the furrows in the Velvet are not big enough for me.
