Since my workshop with Gerry Chase last weekend, I've had too much legal work to be able to play much...but I did manage to make one small, quick composition. Following Gerry's suggestions, I tore some of my painted pieces randomly and then worked to assemble a story with them.
I call this Pink Lemonade, because as I was working with the leafy pieces and the pink splashy ones, it made me think of a hot day and intense shadows and cool leafy places. It was a fun quick exercise and I really enjoyed working with fabric I'd created myself.
Now I think I'm seeing what these surface design-obsessed folks get into...
I absolutely love what you have done with that wonderful fabric. I am extremely inspired and will definitely be trying these techniques. Thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI did a bit of surface design stuff in my City & Guilds course but it didn't really spark with me. However, your fun pieces have prompted me to pull out my fabric paints and this time I'm enjoying it. Thank you!
