Chapter Nine - Traditional & Contemporary Methods

Ok I'll admit I'm not pleased with my first sample (traditional method).

I used cotton fabric for all the layers but I just couldn't get to grips with folding the fabric under. It was extremely fiddly.

Evaluation

I think the samples I have produced show the a dramatic difference of the huge difference in looks using the same method but reversing the cutting. I'm so excited about this as the list of possibilities is endless. I've enjoyed experimenting with lots of different fabrics and textures to see what works well. My favourite sample is without a doubt the frayed star on page 9.3 both visual and texture.
