sewing

Continuing on with the theme of maps, I wanted to find a new method I could work into them. I began to experiment with sewing into maps. One I had sewn into the map I stapled a frame to it to add support but allowed the river to flow over the edge.
I enjoyed involving sewing in my work so wanted to experiment with it further. I came across a material called water soluble plastic. this plastic would allow me to sew into a map and then wash away with water the access paper, so I would just be left with the stitching. The result was amazing, i kept to the theme of using old canvases so stapled the net to it.
