Slow Stitching Sunday
I have been creating a fabric book with the theme of leaves. The pages are fabric with mixed media, bottom photo. Both sides of the fabric are covered. I didn't really think that through as that makes stitching on them pretty much impossible. That's okay, as I am good at problem-solving.
The leaves pictured above will work perfectly for this project. Most of them are machine stitched but there is also some hand stitching. I will be adding more to the collection. All the stitching will be done and then the leaves will be glued to the pages. I also need to figure out how to bind all the pages together! Challenges, challenges!
The mixed media pages still require some work as well. Some of the mediums are rather difficult. I don't want them o remain white and they aren't taking paints and inks very well. I guess I can place the leaves strategically over the white parts. I will have to do some playing around.
This is a very interesting method. I love the look of the leaves. It will be fun to see how you use them.
ReplyDeleteI would imagine problem solving and oodles of playing are a prerequisite in the type of artistic pretties you create, Angela. Your fabric book is going to be wonderful. Love those leaves.
ReplyDeleteWow, those fabric pages are beautiful. I like the stitched leaves also. I am looking forward to seeing these come together.
ReplyDeleteYour leaves are so pretty! I'm so impressed with how you problem solve when things don't work quite like you intended!
ReplyDeleteYou will solve any problem that turns up.
ReplyDeleteThe theme is a good one - you could even make an installation show!
