| Simple outline drawing of Angel carving from Venice |

A More detailed version
At the end of my research project, my title changed or rather evolved, pretty much like the project has all along. I chose caught between heaven and the deep green sea as my project's focus kept being drawn to the roof top features in Venice, in particular the statues or saints which adorned these roofs, along with the tide lines and sea.
For my research however, I tried my hand at drawing the outlines of the building that I was using as inspiration and none quite sat comfortably with the surface pattern design I was aiming to produce. Today I was just looking to the roof tops again for designs to aid my laser cut work and came accross a carving I had not quite remembered before. This billowing Angel I have drawn in sketch form rather than the embroidered form of my research may enhance my design further and save on the encumbering nature embroidery has on the fluidity of a garment

this is part of the sampling I did in my past research file

| I previously painted a robed god so this is just a natural progression to acheive the desired design |
