This module has taken longer than I hoped, but I got there in the end!
Chapter 11 Continued
Looking at other design ideas - a piece measuring 70 x 70 cms. This size will more than adequately cover the sign. The original words of 'Accès Interdit Sur L'Enrochement' will be changed to 'Accès Permit Sur L'Enrochement'. I will incorporate the lettering into the outer ring of the embroidery.

The embroidery will consist of 3 main areas (rings), with the lettering obscured around the outer edge in the larger shapes, being faintly visible.

Experimenting with fish outlines on sheer fabric, using Aquabond as the stabiliser.

Another variation. I prefer this one with a dark and light outline.

Looking at a colour scheme and texture for the outer ring of 'rocks' - sheer fabrics cut into small random shapes and soldered together, marking marks. The marks need to be developed to become more suitable, but the pieces bonded well together. The metal is the inside of a tomato puree tube, painted with alcohol inks. I want to develop this metal process further.

Tea stained craft vilene, layered to look at the effect of a smoother (inner) ring.

Looking at combining elements.

I will also look at using some of the lace effects I have designed in this module. I think that paper pulp, used with some of the ideas above could work very well.
The centre will probably comprise painted silk but I am still working on ideas for this.
