Fall?? Heck, spring hasn't even arrived yet. I'm preparing for a fall exhibit......perhaps this piece will find a home before then. Love any excuse to work on a specific theme art quilt!
Several of my fiber pals got together to print fabric in Kathie's fabulous spacious studio.
We each had our own space and got so engaged in our projects none of us even took pictures! A variety of methods were utilized, but for me it was an opportunity to create some gelli print pieces destined to be used in upcoming landscape pieces.
Here's my results......
Typically I prefer to stablize my work prior to adding any stitching or motifs. It not only provides strength but texture as well. That's because I often work with whole cloth.
This little fun piece has been finished for awhile. I held off sharing while I attempted to obtain a color accurate photo and today was the day!
The vast amount of stitching on this piece required a good deal of time. I love being able to utilize the ice, indigo, and mono-printed fabrics I've created over time.
Ice, indigo, mono printed cottons, Ultra-Suede, appliqued, densely machine stitched. Wrapped on a canvas covered frame and secured in a black wood frame.
