Working with my drawings on the sewing machine

by using transfer paper i was able to print a few of my drawings onto fabric. i think this was a good was of enhancing a plain drawing as well as incorporating the two contrasts of the Titanic together. that is the 1st class luxuries with the dirty oil ridden worker areas.

in this first piece i printed my drawing of the form onto fabric which i then extracted floral patterns from other drawings and sewn them into the fabric to add a further step of elegence to the piece to reflect the elegance of the ship.





using the same techique i working into a couple of others drawings, using different methods such as adding glass paintings, tea staining, adding felt or wallpapers and so on. each technique was similar however they created difference finishes to each piece making them each unique.
