I have been wanting to give myself time to experiment/play using stitch as a mark-maker and have been doodling with thread over the past few days. This is the first result:
Text reads: “She had a child to mother but she wasn’t sure she belonged”.
Media: Acrylics, gouache and watercolour.
Text reads: “her world a strange music of different ways, but she wasn’t going to spoil this”.
Media: Collage and acrylic
Hand-painted silk with hand stitching.
A friend of mine is not so well at the moment. She loves colour, it makes her happy, so I decided to make a small book into which I will set the following ATCs. I hope it brings her some cheer.
Hand-dyed fabric, couched fibre and hand stitching.
Left: machine-appliquéd batik scraps; Right: layered fabrics with applied fibres.
Left and Right: Acrylics, pen and ink; Centre: couched fibres.
Left: mono-printed fabric, machine stitched; Centre: layered papers and fabric with couched fibres; Right: hand-painted paper by Laura Hegarty with machine applied pieces.
Left: hand-painted silk, centre quilted and machine stitched; Centre: felted dyed wools with couched thread; Right: mono-printed fabric with couched fibres.
Left: Layered fabrics and silk-tops, machine and hand stitching; Right: mixture of couched fibres.
It was fun to play this way, experimenting on a small scale.
I am moving my art blog over to WordPress – I prefer the format there as I can accommodate the different media on separate pages whilst staying within the same blog.
The new blog address is:
http://meanderingmuse.wordpress.com
Hope to see you there
