collage process

To start off the image, i first lay out the photos in different ways and shared them with the group, this was to ensure that the rest of the group were happy with our final image. I chose the same colour thread as the tint of each image, reinforcing the colours that represent the LGBTQ flag as some of the colours faded slightly as a result of the images being printed on a thicker paper, allowing embroidery without tearing. I first, embroided the photos separately, ranging the patterns and density of the thread. I went on to sew the images onto a piece of a2 sized fabric, that acts as the background to the collage. I also glued down some photos and lose edges to de-clutter the piece, making it looked neater. once the piece was together, I then framed it on a window mount to flatten it and keek it stretched.
