Decorated Papers and A3 Design Work

Hi Sian, I've enlarged my design of shapes to A3 and offer three possible ways to interpret it. 

Decorated Papers

First I prepared white tissue paper for inking by crumpling it and making oil pastels and gold markel twine rubbings.

I then inked the papers using Brusho powders then further worked into some of them using gold, silver and umber stamp pads and printing with the red and green plastic items below. I also used bleach.

The 'V' stamp is from one of my drawings of packaging which had a V for vegetarian logo. 

The polystyrene and pin stamp block was also inspired by one of my drawings of the dimples in a plastic cracker, also from packaging.

A3 Design Work

My original design enlarged to A3

 Three possible ways of making:-

1. Display: slightly away from the wall. 
Technique: Free machine stitch on dissolvable fabric on an invisible thread grid, adding more shapes to fill an A1 space.

2.  Display: Hang from the ceiling so can be viewed from both sides (or does this make it 3D?)
Technique: Cut applique on transparent fabric, eg organdie, chiffon or fine net, adding more shapes to fill an A1 space.

3. This idea is a bit weirder. More of an interactive touchy feely piece. Enlarge the pattern pieces to fill an A1 space. 

Technique:The base would be a stitched piece, possibly lightly quilted with the pattern shapes. The pattern pieces would be loose, like jigsaw pieces and the viewer could play with them and fit them into the shapes on the quilt. (see below)

I also played around making plastic prints (see below) but did not use the printed paper in the design work. However, I liked the complex print which belies the simple method used to make it. Perhaps it could be part of the labelling of the piece which I may call either 'soup' (from the phrase 'an endless plastic soup of waste') or 'nurdles' (the raw material of plastic production)

Thank you Sian, I will wait to hear your thoughts before I start to sample.
