Textiles??

This week I’ve been freaking out a little because up to now I’ve produced very little textiles based work. However, when I tried embroidering words into textiles it seemed pointless. I think I was doing it for the sake of being a textiles student. The embroidery brought very little extra to my work so far, the words were still there, but it was quite uninteresting to me. I have decided to concentrate on the words and meanings much more than on attempting to produce a textiles piece.

I was also considering using things that are synonymous with the Chav to embroider onto, for example trackies, hoodies and caps. I think this would be too obvious, and doesn't really convey the message I would like it to, it just seems too basic. I want people to really think about the words I am using, and hopefully they'll create a picture in their own minds.
