Liz Benjeddi Textile Art. Sunday, 20 January 2013. Module 2 Chapter 7 - page 22. Module 2 Chapter 7. Developing Stitched Textures - couching. Sample 2 - trying out ideas. Close up of the 'squiral'. Sample 3 - In the style of Bridget Riley. Sample 4 - Layers and Stitch. Sample 5 - trying ideas with 'free embroidery'. I looked at a variety of garden pictures and chose the one below, as it had a range of colours and textures in the plants. I used a variegated pink and red thread to stitch stylised flower sh...

Liz Benjeddi Textile Art. Wednesday, 15 August 2012. Module 2 Chapter 5 (page 20). Chapter 5 - page 20. Design and make a textured tassel. I looked back through the pictures I collected in Chapter 1 for Module 2 and came across this photo of bluebells. I started to draw different designs for the tassel and experiment with petal shapes that I thought might work effectively. Paper mock up of tassel. I stitched the outline of each petal in the lighter thread (Anchor Pearl Cotton wt 8, colour 1325) through t...

Liz Benjeddi Textile Art. Sunday, 13 October 2013. Module 3 Chapter 1 (Page 26). Module 3 Chapter 1 - Flight of Fancy. I spent some time thinking about objects that can fly, e.g. birds, some insects, butterflies, planes, kites etc. and decided to collect images of Chinese kites, which quite often are representations of butterflies, birds, dragons and dragonflies. I collected images of these and also made drawings and sketches of the ones I liked or found most interesting. I particularly liked these pictu...

Liz Benjeddi Textile Art. Sunday, 10 March 2013. Module 2 Chapter 9 (page 24). Chapter 9 - Stitch and Manipulate! This is a piece of rectangular blue/green khadi paper, that is speckled in silver paint. I used a flower printing block and printed in dark blue on one side of the paper and silver on the reverse. I stitched in vertical columns of orange/variegated orange and yellow thread in a flower patterned automatic stitch and a variegated pink spiral stitch. Photo from above, to show the reverse. After ...

http://lizbenjeddi.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Liz Benjeddi Textile Art. Wednesday, 15 February 2012. Module 2 Chapter 2 - Making Patterns (page 17). I collected patterns from craft papers that I already had tucked away in boxes. I particularly like the patterns on these Japanese papers. These papers are textured and some of the patterns show symmetry (reflective and rotational). Patterns collected from browsing through various magazines. I like the way that the vertical pattern of stripes contrasts with the horizontal set below. I cut the printing b...

Liz Benjeddi Textile Art. Thursday, 17 November 2011. Module 1 Chapter 10 - page 15. Chapter 10 - Stitching Colours, Line and Texture. Sample 1 - Stitch and a Blob. I liked the colour combination of the threads used here and the texture created by the 'blobs'! Sample 2 - Stitch and a Squiggle. Sample 3 - Round and round, backwards and forwards. I used lilac, purple and gold threads for these samples and these were my least favourite of the shapes to create (particularly the circles! When I had finished, ...

Liz Benjeddi Textile Art. Sunday, 8 January 2012. Module 2 Chapter 1 (page 16). Chapter 1 - Shape and Form. Collections of different forms and shapes (some pages have spaces for more pictures and sketches). Thin and spiky shapes. This one has a rounded form, but is made up of spiky tufts. Pencil sketches (4B pencil). I love the spiky shapes in this photo as well as the dramatic colours. Pencil sketch of holly (above). Pencil sketches of thin and spiky plants in 4B pencil (above).

Liz Benjeddi Textile Art. Sunday, 1 June 2014. Module 3 Chapter 3 (page 28). Module 3 Chapter 3. I used decorative stitch patterns to cover a space dyed piece of calico, going across the diagonal. I cut this on the bias and used straight stitch to attach the bias strip to the background (dark pink). Once the edging was in place, I used an automatic stitch pattern of flowers in orange and zig zag stitch in a dark pink to create a sense of continuity. Bound edge with pin tucks. For this sample, I placed a ...
