Samples, Samples, Samples

This weekend all I have been doing is making samples, samples and more samples for our exhibition, which scarily, is in three nights!! I feel that the samples I have uploaded onto my blog are the strongest of my batch. In each piece I have used the colour scheme set from our initial research into the Victorian period - red, gold, blue, black and white-, the use of photographs taken around the city, embellishments, and finally the idea of restriction- shown through the use of wiring and mesh. The pieces contain both hand, and machine stitch, and I feel that they are strong enough to show our theme. I am really looking forward to seeing everybody else's work tomorrow, and finalising our installation ideas.
