I decided that I wanted to use a range of neutral colours. I've included a couple of in process shots of the piece at the sewing machine. Because you work with the fibres trapped between layers of water soluble stabilizer, it's very easy to stitch...no threads and bits to get caught on as you sew!
In this final shot, I'm auditioning it on a loosely woven piece of fabric that I may use as the backing fabric for the piece. I plan to add some hand stitch and possibly some beading or other embellishments and then mount it on a stretched canvas frame.
Very nice! I love the neutral colors. What a great class that must have been. I've owned the stabilizer for years, but never tried using it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jean. It's a great technique...you've got to pull them out and start playing ;)
