Blog 522
I have boxes of ready fused Batiks and Bali’s and
occasionally I decide that I need to use them, usually when I am between
projects. In this example, they have been cut into circles with pinking shears
to produce a shaded wash (pointillism). Once trimmed it measured 10½” square and
will eventually be used to make the centre for a cushion. Here is the sequence.
And
once I had started to play with colour I couldn’t help but continue. It did mean
preparing lots more fabric with Bondaweb but that preparation stage just saturates
me in colour and gets me salivating to start! As I have demonstrated many times
in the past on this blog, I prepare squares made from diagonally-placed strips
and then stagger them on the design wall. The pics that follow show the sequence
so far and reflect a week’s long work of preparing fabric, making and trimming squares
(3½”) and then shuffling them on the design wall. At this stage I’m not sure
where I am going with this creative endeavour but you should get some idea of
scale. As I have been playing with hollyhocks, sunflowers and foxgloves
recently, perhaps they may find a place on this back ground. Who knows because
I certainly don’t and that for me is the uncertain fun of creativity.
