Blog 411
At this stage I can peel my creation off the release paper
in one piece and place it on my design wall for reviewing from a distance. I
like what I see so far! The next stage is to make some decisions about the
background so I started by trialling various large pieces of fabric to assess
their effect. The first had the vague look of a paving slab; the second gave
the effect of a shrub in the background. The next fabric, placed vertically,
was overwhelming but looked better on the horizontal. Decisions decisions!
Background 1
That said, on the wall of my studio there is another picture
that I finished a couple of years ago; another vase, another bunch of flowers.
On close inspection the background is composed of fused horizontal strips of
fabric, like the strokes of a brush and I particularly like that painterly
effect.
And on the wall of my kitchen, there is yet another picture
made ages ago of sunflowers in a vase; this time with the background made up of
sewn directional squares. Seeing all three pictures together tells me that
something creative is trying to get out and I am not quite sure what it is at
this stage!
