Large scale 'map'

I completed the 'map' idea that I explained in a previous post and I photographed it before dissolving it, I feel that the my drawings and the lines I created with stitch have very similar qualities in terms of line control, movement and structural elements. These images show different angles of the fabric:

Full length Piece, (fabric was water damaged when purchased so is rather curved)

A section of the piece to show the linear patterns better.

Two close up images showing the detail in different parts of the piece.

I dissolved half of this and left it to dry on the piece of wood but as I didn't think it was drying quick enough to do it in separate parts I used cable clips to secure it on to the wood. I then put it in my shower to hose it down and dissolve the remaining fabric, below is an image of the piece at the half and half stage.

As you can see in this image when the fabric dissolves the stitch loses its firmness and becomes somewhat stringy. Although this is not how I wanted it to look I think it will work well with my knitted pieces.
