The Quiet Before The Storm.

This past few weeks at Uni I have felt as though things have gone incredibly slowly. I have a vast amount of work to do, mainly embroidery, which takes a very long time. So even if I have done a lot it feels as though I have done very little. So in order to feel productive, here are some images of some photos from my minor project, different characters from Greek Mythology. They will be made into life size sculptures made from thread. I am definitely feeling as though I have a long way to go.

Cerberus

Daphne

Dionysus

Pandora

Lethe

Medea

   Medusa

The Fates

Oedipus

Persephone

Terpsichore

Chiron

Dried Flowers

Through doing this project I have been thinking about different ways in which to enhance my embroidery techniques. I have kindly been sponsored by the lovely people at Daisy Shop who have given me some gorgeous dried flowers!

Here is an example of an image of my friend Katy, portraying Pandora, with flowers incorporated into the work.

 

 

 

 

Embroidery

The first two weeks back at Uni, and I have been embarking on experimental embroidery. I have mainly been using water soluble fabric, and trying to figure out the best way to do it. I have been using my photography as inspiration to create these images. Here are a few examples:

Ally Jones, as Persephone.

        

Emma Brownless, as Medea
