I have chosen two drawings to develop into two larger stitched pieces.

Having laid out my earlier samples and drawings I have used two ideas – strong lines and delicate whitework.

The first drawing I have chosen for its bold shapes, clear definition and geometric feel, inspired by stitches and fabric.

The second I have chosen for its feeling of lightness and delicacy with a strong stitched image of stylised flowers.

Starting with the first image I began by sketching a design

I then made pieces with papers to stitch together and checked that the proportions looked right.

More work to do on this and the second sample to compose…
