Yesterday i visited my daughter and looked at some magazines. i found a picture i liked, it was a kind of fabergé egg... anyway, i thought how to translate it into fabric...
i decided to take a fine white fabric and to stamp on it.
After that i put some fabric pieces with postcards patterns -i had burned with the heating tool all around to cut them- and some dyed cheesecloth. i covered everything with painted vliesofix -in white- and nylon chiffon in pale violet.
i ironed all together.
the medaillon is made of painted vliesofix onto white fabric with one of my drawings -altered with photoshop- sewn to it. i put some lace on it and now i'm trying to decide what stitching I'm going to use on the piece... i'll continue tomorrow.
It´s look very exciting, I´ll be back to follow this!
ReplyDeletewell, the first problem i have is that it's far too big for a fabergé egg... so I will have to think how I continue...
ReplyDeleteOh Sara! this is wonderful - but then all your work is! I love how you use both fabric and paper in this piece, and the burned edges are great... I once did a piece (now I'll have to find it...) where I burned the fabric edges... oh the smell! but it turned out ok... Can't wait to see how this progresses! There's a bit of gypsy in your soul too!
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful Sara! I find your art so inspirational. I love how you have used paper and fabric in this piece. The lace looks beautiful and the woman's face is serene.
ReplyDeletegreat lace scraps here, i guess you collect them like i do.

Take care.
