After a few trials and mock ups we are starting to plan how everyone's ideas can work together in the final banner. See below for a watercolour outline of the layout I did to help visualise what will go where.
Some of
the visual influences we are incorporating in to the design are Trade
Union banners, retro-futurist art, geometric pattern and traditional
canal boat painting, as well as the engineering, flora and fauna of the Montgomery Canal itself.
In terms of textile techniques, collectively we are likely to use
applique, maybe even reverse applique, paper-piecing and needle-felting,
to name but a few.
I look forward to our next meet-up in January when we will start to construct the background and central elements of the banner.
