Torn Layered Test

After my tutorial with Claire I had sketched out the ideas we had discussed. Just so I don't forget all the details I cleared up and don't go into a panic again.

I visited the textiles workshop with my little doodle but before I could just jump into making I had to sample my ideas of the different layers in order to see if it would look right in a combination. I was also unsure whether to tear the top layer first and then to stitch it or to stitch the layers together and then tear away at the top. I tested both processes with my layers and I found that it was best to tear the top layer first before stitching together as the scrim is still intact whereas the other process destroyed the scrim and you couldn't see it at all.
