Chapter 2, Task 3. Translating into Stitch - white on black.

Chapter 2, Task 3, The original ink washed background with white charcoal pencil is the top image and my white on black stitched sample page is below.
I began using cream cotton (I had ordered white)  and ran out so completed the sampled with new white cotton - the first image was a long way off the original, the second wasn't great - the only way I seem to get a more accurate result is to draw the image on the fabric first and then stitch - not sure of this is okay to do?? The contrast is really good and definitely enhances the images in the reverse. I had problems with the stitching in the final image as the bobbin grabbed the cotton and I had to re thread, then it went straight back to normal. Pleased with them overall and pleased with the way my machine is performing now it has decent cotton!

Level 1, Chapter 2, Task 2

Hi Jo
Where did that week go!
Thanks for your feedback and comments re my last task.
I have downloaded Picasa 3 and these photos have been lightened and are the right way up!! So sorry - I just could not find a way of rotating the others I took.

Actually after all that - they were still "iffy", I have used a scanner and they look amazing now.
I have loved doing these angle and pattern designs and think I have a couple of nice ones. They have a "smiley"!
This afternoon I am going to start the next task and am so looking forward to the "stitching" part.
That's it for now - hope you are having a lovely Sunday.

Level 1 Chapter 2, Task 1, Linear Links

Hi Jo
Here are my designs for this task. I loved this task and it was brilliant to use the template for each one - it is much easier than looking at a blank A4 page! Also it enabled me to work quicker and much more freely. Hope I am working along the right lines!!

Level 1 Chapter 1 Task 2, Fabric Prep - Rotary Cutting Notes

Hi Jo
Here are my Rotary Cutting Notes for task 2.
The fabric preparation was "interesting". I had to re cut about half of my pages - the calico was cut too small and so was the black material - the felt was spot on both black and white.
Anyway, I got there in the end...could not believe how long it took me! It got much easier second time around.
