bias binding
I created some bias binding to sew around the shape. This reminded me of the legshield rubber around an actual front legshield of a scooter. It also neatens the edge of the fabric.

embroidery experiments - mixed media
Mixed media - black and white printed collage with hand embroidery. Like the concept of the viewer having to struggle to see the scooter image, with one image upside down to add to the confusion. Close up view Mono print, ripped scooter magazine with hand embroidery Feel that this image isn't strong enough although feel like this is the beginning of a new avenue to explore. I made a number of mono prints to experiment with, think the concept of adding the scooter article from a scootering magazine brings the link between the image and the scooter scene in general. Need to try this concept with machine embroidery. Hand embroidery on cotton fabric. Enjoyed creating this, strong use of colours and the distorted image provides a contemporary feel on an otherwise quite traditional medium.
experiment with printed words and machine embroidery
I experimented with printing words onto a page from a magazine using my printer. I choose the words to a northern soul song that has a lot of meaning for me. I then machine embroidered over the top using different coloured threads. Was very pleased at the outcome of this, it brings in the northern soul element of the scooter scene but adds another visual dimension with the embroidery threads hanging loose at the bottom.
