Mister Finch is an artist I found a while ago, through my summer sketchbook i've been exploring adding embroidery to my work, something that happened by accident, but I like it.
For my Thought Bubble Zine I'm going to create an amalgamation of the things i've been looking at, which is Moths and Insects. I've gravitated towards pencil drawing and building upon that.
Process:
- Draw the Moths
- Embroider into them
- Scan, Paginate, add more things (?)
- Print onto lovely stock, maybe different colours
- Hand bind with stitching, and add embroidery to all five zines.
I think that through adding to each individual zine will make them more interesting and personal.
Mister Finch describes the process of making his insects, which are decidedly more 3D than mine will be, but it's interesting to know:
Each is made with vintage needlework and is stuffed very tightly. The legs are bound in layers and layers of floral tape, crepe and tissue paper and glue.
An artist that is more 2D, and will prove more interesting to scan is Sparklymouse, who prints fashion photographs onto fabric and reworks them. I think for this purpose I will be fine stitching into paper, but it's interesting for future reference (Apparently we can do this process in the print room!)
