After the class critique, I went back to the drawing board. I wondered what pictures could be placed in. After a few ideas, I decided to go with a photo album. I thought about how an album is made and reversed or switched how the materials would be used. So, instead of making the album cover with fabric and the "page" with paper, I used the paper (a type of poster paper) as the cover and felt as the "page." I used the thread to bind acetate to the felt so my dad's picture could be protected. I did 63 stitches to represent the age when he died. When we had desk critques- based on suggestion by Tommy- I stitched the cover title with the same thread I used to stitch the felt and acetate. This is what came out.
After the class critique when I showed my final product, I ended up doing some final refined touches . I redid the stitches around the "page," as well as, I re-stitched the cover so that the letters looked bold and the stitching on the back of the cover was neater. This is what is looked like. I can see a difference but I'm not sure if it is that visable to everyone else.
