Getting onto the ethos.

I had been thinking about other techniques that I could use for this unit and the ethos was a obvious choice for me after learning to use it in my last project I have been obsessed with using it again. So I thought of different designs that I could do with both briefs to stitch out. The first couple designs I did for my own self written brief I used the back grounds that had already prepped I wanted to make one of them camouflaged so that the actual stitch out wasn't to obvious. So the first design I did I stitched out a small leafy pattern on top of some printed fabric of a layered drawing from my sketch book. I really like the simplicity of this sample it came out a lot better than what i thought it would actually I was contemplating working into more perhaps with some hand stitch or something but I'm now thinking that I may leave it because I don't want to over complicate my designs.

The design above I really like the actual ethos stitch out part but the prepped background itself I'm not that keen on due to the yellow dye when I painted on the fabric with the dye at the beginning I really liked the way it looked. The colours on the fabric changed when it dye dried and the yellow I think looks very ill and I just didn't like the colour, I don't like how obvious this design is it just replicates exactly what I drew and of the plant it's self. It's also not a design that I can see being used within interior design.
