What was great about these photos was that they were unexpected; they were spotted in odd places. My particular favourite is the bottle cap hung upon a branch in a bush. The writing inside reads 'GDZIE GOLINGUJEMY' which I believe to be some form of anagram as i have managed to find a vast variety of short and longer words such as 'enemy', 'lemming' and 'gin'. I thought originally these new found words could be used as the basis for my work that had to be ready by the following Friday of that week.
Back in the studio I made sketches of these objects by combining them together as a montage on one page using a blue colour marker pen. The lines I created by not taking my pen off the page made me remind myself of the advantages of exciting textures and relief using embroidery. This is how I found my medium to work with for this piece of work. So I used a view finder to cut of a small section of the original sketch to use as my template for creating a embroidery piece of Calico. From Wednesday through to Friday I created the piece that I chose to keep in its embroidery hoop as it acts as a makeshift frame and a device for the piece to be kept taught upon the wall. I used pins to keep the work on the wall with the excess Calico cascading underneath. Which I find gives the work a rustic quality.
