Design Ideas

These were some of my ideas for my final piece. I have decorated the background with water down brusho, pencil drawings, real tree bark, and pva and acrylic leaf veins and ink and pipette.

Final Piece

This is my final piece where i have layered all my final samples into collage. I like this arrangement as it has a natural flow also the way they are over lapping and crossing over.
I was inspired by pictures on the internet, my own photos and artists work.
I have used materials such as organza, baby wipe,acetate, brusho, vielene, hand made felt, angelina fibres etc.
I have used techinques such as iron on transfer, foam print, mono print, melted plastics, distressed newspaper etc.
Although my intial thought were to make a 3D piece i am happy with the outcome as it is simple yet it looks good.
I like the colours used as they are mostly neutral colours which harmonize but also there are bursts of purple and blues which contrast and add colour making it most intresting to the eye.
If i was to redo my final piece i would put some wire in certain places to make them stand out. Also i could of added pva leaf veins or real tree veins for detail.
I like the texture throughout the piece as in some areas the texture is rough and bumpy due to the organza and melted plastics and in others it's soft and smooth because of the acetate and felt.
