I've finished my general research into marie antoinette and found all the focus points that im basing my designs on ( currently have 9 with about 4/5 more to draw up and obviously anything else that comes into my head while continuing this project )
After this i was gonna start putting my designs, however i have decided not to and am gonna have the next part of my sketchbook dedicated to developing embroidery techniques that can be applied to my material for this project. Then i can re-edit my basic designs with the new techniques.
Embroidery Story
I also think that the embroidery has to mean something and tell a story not just something that looks pretty. ( will check the brief )
Keeping that in mind after looking back at my research and genereal designs i have ideas for genereal embroidery of the time and then my initial story which for me will be apart of an added detail to each design (secret).
I'm gonna be looking at embroidered flowers:
Fabric Flowers:
Thankfully my nan has been a florist all her life and can do anything to do with flowers!
Porcelain Patterns (Sevres):
Carpenters Carvings:
