paper with threads - scooter


I then decided to experiment more with the threads combination. I decided to use 2 different coloured threads and really like the way it that the 2 threads create a linear 'grid' look. It adds texture to the image.

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.

Mixed media collage - hand made paper with lyrics from northern soul songs, hand embroidery on top. Fabric image with embroidery threads attached. Interesting concept using the hand made paper. Love the hand made paper with the northern soul lyrics imbedded. Not sure how I could recreate this now at home as I like the concept of the words been slightly ripped/half hidden, so the viewer has to really look at the image to work out what it says. Also it ties in the link between the scooter scene and the northern soul scene.  Possibly a paper collage using ripped up images/words overlapping each other? Overall I don't think this image works, wrong colour background too overpowering, may of worked better with a more muted background?
