It might be exercise, but

…definitely not sport…

Next stages of ‘thinking’ - I printed my figure drawings onto a cotton fabric and added hand and machine stitching. I then re-scanned these stitched drawings to use in future designing ideas.

Continuing with some ideas to suggest movement, greatly inspired by Muybridge, I’ve made these multiple images of my figure drawings, greatly helped by a discovery of the ‘transparency’ option. Thank you to Anne for sending me a lovely postcard of a walking man by Muybridge – it’s propped up by my computer to help me think.  Thank you Anne.

  1. These are lovely Sian! Your drawing is so free and the marks are beautiful. They work really well as a repeated pattern too.

  2. Lovely progression, Sian, I love the top drawings with the stitching over the sketches, and the bottom one is very exciting.

  3. I went to Doll House to get my dress and they promised they would get it in. I was so upset when they didn’t come through for me so I went Sassy Boutique. They were able to get my dress within three 3 days. They had wonderful customer service and nothing was a problem for them. I really appreciated the effort they made to make my night memorable. i will never go to dollhouse again.
