I want to start out by saying thatthe studio I am in has accidentally acquired a pond that takes up half the floor. Therefore we are in a computer room which means everything is a lot less painty and messy.
Anyway, to start with a PVA and white acrylic mix painted straight onto Hessian on a head model made a really good 3d head dress.
I managed to take it off the head before we were evacuated, and I have to say I am pleased with the results.
I only wish the eyegap was more rectangular.
Inspired by Princess Hijab, I created these images
I think the most see through ones work the best.
I have also been experimenting with fancy stitch in eye holes. This is a sample.
I think it is pretty, but the far right stitch is the only relevant one.
I have also tried 2 different embroidery samples. I tried it on scrimmage, and I can honestly say it is one of the hardest things to sew, as even in an embroidery hoop, threads still pull.
I don't like the Brown thread, it looks like sick. The white string is too obvious, but the thread is lovely as it looks like the scrimmage forms the words accidentally.
Only thing is,I just don't know what to write. I am vaguely writing words to do with identity, but I need to brainstorm what I could embroider that would be relevant.
Anyway thats all.
