After displaying my samples and explaining my concpet of 'Ideals of Beauty', and creating a surface with personlity and movement using stitch techniques, it was suggested to me that I explore construct techniques. With connotations of Knit and Weave, my samples consist of linear structures and exploration of colour through yarn wrappings. I will aim to develop colour mixing through the use of print and threads, experminenting with printing techniques and successful layering of embroidery.
Another technique to consider is 'Floating', this is a more dense technique for colour mixing threads.

Anne Wilson 'Walk the Warp' was suggested to me to explore "...referencing hand-woven West African cloth and commercially woven French beach stripes.". Taking inspiration from this, aspiring to combine weave processes to create embroidery samples; creating a warp with threads that won't work on the domestic Bernina and colour mixing on a hank, making it easier to lay threads down creating a surface that connotes yarn wrappings.
