Development of new techniques:
From the wadded quilting, I decided to experiment with materials. I produced three futher samples, these included;
- Three samples with different types of wadding (thickness and colour)
- Three different front fabrics, depending on transparency and property
- Three different backing materials.
 |
| Fine Muslin, Polyester Wadding, Solcotta Cotton with trapped threads to add colour. |
 |
| Ice Wool Wadding. |
 |
| PVC top layer, ladder stitch quilting to connote rollercoaster tracks. |
Suffolk Puffs:
Can be stitched together to create it's own fabric, can also be stuffed.
 |
| Varying fabric (Carrier Bag) |
Corded Quilting & Trapunto:
Two types of material needed, the wadding is added with a wool and large needle to create a raised surface.
I
introduced colour into this with thread as I'm finding it difficult to
find the appropriate coloured material. Using a black organza with
coloured threads works effectively, especially when I use a metallic
thread which was taken from images of reflective Fairground surfaces.
 |
| Corded Quilting - Using stripes to connote the Fairground and a varient of colours under a black organza to reflect the masked animal welfare at Belle View. |
 |
| Trapunto - I didn't find this sample fulfilled my strengths as it was difficult to add colours, however if I were to do this again - maybe use a chiffon with colour underneath. |
