I probably should have come up with a better name for my piece!
If I could, I'd probably change it to
'Fabricated Manhattan'
or
'Fabricated Skyline '
'Fabricated Manhattan'
or
'Fabricated Skyline '
Regarding the process. Wow, where do I begin?
Here are some thoughts that are in no particular order!
It's a weird feeling when you are trying to form an idea in your head that suits your style and or ability.
I set out to do something simple but it got more complicated as time went on.
I'm happy with the end result but it took more work than I anticipated.
I've only ever sewn a patch on a pair of jeans before. I feel like I've sewn 100 patches now
If I were to start the same project again I think I'd have to learn how to use the sewing machine properly!!
Even though I'm happy with the final image, there are a few elements/ features that I'd do differently
( I think:-)
The Memory Project is a wonderful idea. We should do all we can to help improve memory especially in those who are losing theirs to disease.
This Manhattan skyline scene that I attempted to recreate is representative of the view from my apartment when I lived in NY. The real view is amazing and I hope I've done it justice!!
