Assessment 1 feedback

Today I received my Basic Sampler assignment, marked and with feedback from Jude.

There is lots of praise and lots of helpful 'criticism'. Not criticism really, but comments & recommendations on where I went amiss and what I could try next time.

I need to find some time to get out my books and re-read the comments in relation to those to get a better understanding of some of the concepts.

Basic Sampler

Here is the completed basic sampler.

 It is very obvious that the sides pull in right where I wove the circle. I used 8 strands of the Australian Tapestry Workshop dyed yarns up to that point and then added a different yarn for the circle. I think I should have used more of the black/lurex yarn because after the circle the sides go back out again.
My landscape is very simple, leaves against a two colour background. I used some oddments from my yarn stash for this. I wanted to try a different textural look and also get away from the original colours.

At least there's plenty of room for improvement!

For Misha

OK Misha this is for you.

I've since finished & sewn the slits. My "landscape" is very simple but I'm happy with it. I'll try for a photo of the completed sampler tomorrow.
