Blog 535
I believe we are having a proper winter this year and, whilst
we are in the depths of it, it is a joy to be working with bright summery
colours! This week I shut myself in my playroom with its more than ample heater
and I immersed myself in the colours of the latest project. What I have created
so far is the quilted background onto which I am now adding floral details.
With my quilted background firmly pinned onto the design wall, I tend to try
out different ideas first; sometimes paper cut-outs help. I invariably work on
baking parchment with ready-fused fabric and free-cut the shapes that I need as
I go along. I have tried to work with templates but they need preparing first
and they are not conducive to spontaneity. What follows is a series of ‘in progress’
pictures. The creative process has to be fluid and so there is a lot of
auditioning and shuffling of shapes as I go along.
