In this post, I explore different techniques; batik, bonded fabric, applique and reverse applique. The challenge for me is still to create beauty, but to go beyond my previous limits… again, some mistakes turn out quite well!
I have been experimenting and developing ideas using bonded fabric and simple printing with paints and dyes. Over the last year, I have collected a variety of different fabrics, plastic, ribbons etc… and I have hand and machine dyed my own fabrics… some experiments, of course, come out as disasters, but there is always something to learn…
It is so easy to make excuses for not doing any work! We are having quite a bit of building work done in the house, and my studio hasn’t arrived yet… but the need to create persists… so with cats, builders, kids and sympathetic husband, I carry on.
I’ve been layering fabric, cutting and stitching to create different effects.
Good luck to my Year 11s for next week…. You’ll be fine!
