hand embroidery - images from the scooter scene


Three hand embroidery's depicting the scooter scene, with the scooter, Dr Martens and northern soul dancer. 
 
I chose to embroidery on 3 different coloured backgrounds to see how the overall images looked. I am pleased with the outcome of all, very simple designs but capture the overall scene. I will frame these embroidery's in the future, as I feel that they belong together as part of a collection.

Experiment with decollage. I have never done this method before so was interested to see how it would turn out. I used pages from a scooter magazine as well as words from northern soul songs, with different scooter rallies printed on. Quite pleased with the outcome although I used the wrong coloured paper, the blue and the yellow as its too stark. I like the 'roughness' of it I think it ties in well with the scooter theme. Will experiment more with this.
