I am really pleased with these pieces and feel that hey have given me a positive starting point to lead and follow off from. The sections which work the best i believe are where things have been printed onto it. In particular one section which i find interesting is where i have captured a section of dried grass within a piece of netting. I want to explore this more but trapping other pressed plants etc.
Alongside this i have looked at using paint with a palette knife and exploring the ways in which it can be applied and settled onto a surface. With these pieces i felt that they were too bold and so added whitewash to it. After that i felt that both pieces needed more than just paint. This then led me onto on the one piece adding more mediums. On the other i felt that it might be appropriate to add some stitch to it.
In the pieces which i just had sections which were cut up into strips, there were sections within these which did and did not please me. On these ones i felt that there was only two sections which seemed to had been made well. These sections were where the stitch looked although it was crawling up and creeping into the work and taking over it. Far below are the pictures of this piece.
