Samples considering the use of line and a build-up of small components

Considering the use of colour of threads to create a sense of depth  like the  french knots are weighing down the fabric.

Looking at the use of lines, using pulled thread work and dying the centre of the fabric with the idea of the colour creeping up the fabric.


Using the pintuck foot creating a long sample looking at the build up of colour and thinking of the depth of darker tones at the bottom of the sample. 



Thinking about the idea of weight, and with the pieces of broken resin dipped teabags weighting the fabric down, also using darker tones to create a sense of depth.

A hanging sample with french knots weighing own the fabric using a range of darker threads and bringing small flecks of amber like in the original picture of the piles of glasses from Auschwitz where I got my inspiration for this project.
