Inkings

You know I'm working on this series now. I cannot resist to show some details of the work because I miss sharing what I do...



There is a new way of making the backgrounds and also I'm using some other creatures, not only my usual figures.



Doing this series and working with the embellisher for some time now I noticed I have a longing for working only with raw materials -not using paints and non-wovens- and trying to get all the structure and colour melting from the combination and punching of different wool colours and qualities.

I also punch fabrics, laces, etc. but I find that using all the painting techniques we are used to working with fabric turns the product much alike to the works we have done before using the embellisher. This machine needs some techniques of her own...

You get for instance the most gorgeous background mixing colours on the back of the piece, it lookes like water color on the front.



The photograph is kind of blurred but you get the idea.

  9. I so agree with you that the embellisher needs its own techniques and I think you are managing to do that. Your work is fabulous.
