By the end of this lesson I am aiming to have finished the four samples I started on Thursday by stitching onto them with the machine and the making 2 or 3 more applique samples.

# data[].attributes.body
Today I finished my four samples and began making a fifth one but did not finish it. I took pictures of my fabric which are leftover scraps before I cut into them to show that they are up cycled.

Thursday making samples. Responding to my own starting point.

# data[].attributes.body
Thursday lunchtime. 1.5 samples done. 1.5 left to be done. I am considering working on a larger scale. By projecting my images onto a white board and tracing them before stitching. This would be less fiddly and more impactful.

# data[].attributes.body
Made 5 large tracing using a projector. I used different colours for each position so I could tell which line was which. Working on a larger scale was effective because the size of the figures was close to actual human size so they are more impactful.

# data[].attributes.body
Scrap fabrics before I cut them up for samples.

# data[].attributes.body
Visit to the V&A to look at the photography section

# data[].attributes.body

End of Thursday: three samples completed and two drawings done.

# data[].attributes.body
Monday planning

# data[].attributes.body
My final mock up is going well. I am on track to finish it be the end of the day. The projections are a bit faint so it is hard to trace.

# data[].attributes.body
I was unable to finish my mock up yesterday because the projector was being faulty. I will finish it in Jessie's lesson.

# data[].attributes.body
Buying chunky yarn on Walthamstow Highstreet. I bought 3 yarns each of two colours. One is light grey, one is blueish grey. They will be used to satin stitch two figures in my final outcome. Hopefully it is enough. It cost me £18. (£3 per ball)

Last stretch of hand stitching. The wide satin stitch gets ruffled up easily when picked up/folders but can easily be fixed. It's has a cool wavy effect in this image.

# data[].attributes.body
First time laying out all three banners next to each other. Just one forearm left to stitch on banner number 1.

# data[].attributes.body

# data[].attributes.body
Shopping for molding to hang up my installation. I bought 3x2.4m sticks.

Screwing my work to the wall! It was a challenge to get them straight and even but they look really good in the space and they are very tall so their presence is definitely felt in the room.

# data[].attributes.body
Day 3 of exhibition week. Private view is tomorrow! I used a mixture of velcro and strong tape to secure some of the sections of the banners that were bending away from the wall.

# data[].attributes.body
Exhibition Day! I projected my animation just to the left of the installation. It was great to talk about my work and I got a lot of positive feedback.
