Module 2, chapter 13


Picture 91 shows the Holbein stitch. You can see the technic of this stitch. Piczure 92 is a sampler from this stitch.



Hans Holbein the Younger was born in Augsburg in Germany and travelled in 1526 to England. His pictures of Anne Boleyn are world famous. He produced not only portraits but also designs for juwellery and otther precious opbjects. On his paintings you can see the exact reproduction of the beautiful stitching dresses.(93)
Blackwork is marked by tendernes and retention. The English poet Chaucer mentioned this technic in his Canterbury Tales. Also Catharina Aragon made the blackwork popular at her time.





Image 94 is  an example of black work.

Bridget Riley was born 1931 in EnglandIn 1960 she worked in black and white and she envolved a style in which she explored that two dynamic dimensional effects appear as three dimensional. She belonged to the Op-Art artists. The Op-Art style followed the Pap-Art style.




 The dynamic impressen results by using lines which run from thick to thin in geometric order by using contrasting colours.

Our own choose artist is Victor Vasarely. He was born in 1906 in Hungary. He lived the most time of his life in France. He worked as a grafic artist. He developed the geometric abstract art.  He worked with optical, dynamic, moving impressions. With this technic he produced optical illusions. His designs with lines make the impression of animal fur patterns.
The whole module based on playing with black and white lines to make two and three dimensional patterns like Vasarely and Riley.



Module 2, chapter 12



The next picture (83) shows two more design for a hat.


Of course there are many possibilities for uppersite of the hat- such as hexagons or a big spiral line. I decide for a technic, which I  used in chapter ten. This picture /84) is the beginning of the upper site. These are my painted, stamped, bleached fabrics. I want to make this crazy work with many bump ( thick knotted cord).




The next picture (85) shows many examples for the cylinder. I have made many examples so I have a great selection.





On picture 86  you can see the two parts of the hat. These two parts are sewed by machine. Now I can start with the handstitching to get more integrate pattern and colour. This is for me a great pleasure.






I did many, many stitching, spider stitch of a cut through felt ball, Bullion stitch, fly stitch, knot straight stitch. (87)








After I sewed the two parts of the hat together I did more stitching especially many long Bullion stitch and made the tail with perls and a black tassel. (88,89,90)
