I chose hand dyed
felt as a background and sewed it together with antique stitch.  Thinking about the design brief I chose
different sized stars and chose a sheer which I planned to burn back with a
heat gun showing disintegration.  The
final design shows 4 abstract stars: 
one stitch only
one appliqué layering from the top & cutting outside stitching
one appliqué layering from underneath & cutting inside stitching &
trupunto one was seed stitching in similar colours to the background to show
disintegration.  
To join the stars
together was a large appliqué star with stitching & beads.  Finally I did free machine stitching
following the shapes of the stars before using the heat gun.
