This is my first experimentation using my sewing machine. I created stencils for some letters and free-sewed the others. It was quite effective but didn't quite express what I am really about. It is sort of messy yet very neat which is a great representation of me but it isn't as obvious as I would like it to be.
After failing on sewing, I moved onto my passion for travel. I thought about using maps or a ticket, as I couldn't find a ticket that worked with text over it, i chose to go with the map.
All I have done in the first image is put it into Photoshop, created text with the text tool, rasterized it, selected it, deleted the text leaving the selection then changed the colour within the selection with the 'Colour Change' tool and deselected it.
I have done the same with the second image but instead of selecting the inside of the text, I selected the outside changing the colour of the majority of the image and leaving the inside of the text the original colour of the image.
Although I like my experimentation with travel, again it didn't obviously say a whole lot about myself other than I like to travel the world so I moved onto my other passion, Photography. I thought I could make this really personal, using photographs that I have taken on my travels.
I have used a selection of photographs I took on my travels to the Lake district in the summer. I then put them into Photoshop, did the same process as before but instead of using 'Colour Change', I used the 'Invert' tool. As most of the photographs are on the greyscale, they aren't too exciting except for the 'H' on the second line which turned the green grass to purple.
