I've chosen the Knit / Manipulation option for this stage of my journey. I've taken imagery from my family relics including crosses, chain mail and details from our coat of arms, as well as the family motto "lux tua via mea" (Thy light is my way). Today I've been experimenting and printing onto my machine knit pieces creating some interesting shapes and patterns with disperse dyes. I need to work more with the dyes as these tones and mixes are too dark for my chosen colour palette, but going in the right direction. Most surprisingly was when these small experiments were pinned on the mannequin, I was really pleased with the initial results and were far more successful than I had anticipated.
