Very Small Pieces, 4

I’m continuing on with 3.25 sq.in sample pieces laced over foam core. These three are from the past few days and have been or will be posted on the SAQA 100 Days Reboot Challenge site – which is a private group so I’m just showing some of my daily posts here.

Pewter leather, overstitched with high sheen polyester thread.
Bronze leather rings with metallic gold stitch (hard to photograph clearly)
Gold lame beneath fused sheer, polyester and metallic stitch. (hard to photograph)

I have plans to frame or present them (or at least the best of them) on some kind of form in some way but haven’t decided exactly on that yet.

This series is really one of exploration: things I have noticed in Pinterest and other sources often strike me as if they would make interesting textures interpreted in various materials plus stitch. Each of these is telling me a lot, about how materials behave when fused, for example, and how some might be scaled up in a larger work, or in a large work would be as great small detail. I know some of them will appear in some way as techniques in my next larger pieces of work
