Y1 Final Major Project - Bookwork

This is my development work from my sketchbook, it is inspired by The Boyle Family's work also with floral influences. The first two pictures are samples of fabric (cotton, calico and two different types of muslin). That I dyed and then used a domestic machine (using free stitch) to make flower shapes. I then stitched on petals that I cut from tissue paper to give it another layer. 

The next few pictures are samples that I did on paper, I dyed the paper and then used paint to give it a ground surface appearance. I then cut petals from paper that I had dyed yellow. I like these outcomes because I think they translate my chosen idea well.
