Working sheet for chapter 6

My first working sheet! I suppose it is the same idea as a sketchbook. However I am not used to anyone else seeing my sketchbooks! 

 I have scanned and printed images from my design sheets. Some I have printed onto acetate then layered them up and re scanned them - printed them again.

 Images from my design sheets - designs printed onto old map then overlaid with a scanned image of black cutout designs on acetate. Produces quite complex and interesting images.

Experienting with the layered images. Printed off on paper then used to make another cutout!

Bonded sample which has been hand stitched in darker thread. Trying to translate stitches which suggest mending/repairing. Next time will try a more precise and continuous stitch for more definition and clearer shapes.
