Final embroidery experiment

For a final embroidery outcome I shall create my logo on soluble fabric and mount the letters to create a sign for my pop up shop.

I drew the first three letters out of my brand name on a bigger scale and attempted different ways of stitching. I stitched excess thread from the letter A which I expected to come out loser than it did. This will not be the technique I use for my final outcome.

The L I am most happy with as it has lose thread hanging off and around it but looks natural. Letter C I machine embroidered thoroughly which made it too stiff.

For my final outcome I shall draw these on a bigger scale again to create a big impact on my exhibition.

I experimented using machine embroidery for my collar designs. I want to include fire on one of my collar designs as I have featured fire in a lot of my samples. Due to the collar being already in its shape, it was hard to machine stitch onto it. For my final collar designs I shall only use hand embroidery. I shall also use orange thread to create the fire instead of black to make the outcome more visually engaging.

I really liked my eye sample from my Mina Sewell Mancuso page and I wanted to make a collar from black cotton so I can use purples and greens to create a colourful embroidery piece. To develop my last eye collar sample, I used different a colour and made the eye a different shape. I personally prefer this shaped eye as well as the colour. For my final designs I shall satin stitch the entire eye ball as I feel the embroidery would be more compelling with more detail. I shall also use single thread at a time. This will take longer however will create a neater finish. I shall also create two unidentical collars, one with larger eyes and and one with loads of small eyes, using different shades of purple's and green's.
