Remember when I did a million experiments on how to make Trayon Martin's face?
Well, before Jennie told/taught me about Lutradur, I had tried cutting a pattern out of different fused black fabrics - and all of the off cuts made really interesting shapes.
I have made a habit of saving all of my fused leftover bits - they usually come in handy - but in this particular case, the shapes were so interesting, I knew that if I put them on an equally interesting background, they could be an art piece in themselves.
and hey, speaking of backgrounds - here it is. I combined all those bits with some red silk in preparation.
Finished piece on Friday!

Hmmm, sounds intriguing! I'm liking that background a lot!
ReplyDeleteFabulous concept for designing.....very inspiring!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea...my mum always said "waste not want not". She saved every piece of fabric no matter how small.
ReplyDeleteInteresting, Kit! Lutradur really Does rock! Have a look at gallerytextiles.co.uk for some very cool fabrics and paints etc!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea - how do you keep all those little pieces organized and accessible? That's what sooner or later convinces me to stuff them into a pillowcase to make cushions for animal shelters.
ReplyDeleteInteresting piece, Kit! Lutradur DOES r ock! Have a look at gallerytextiles.co.uk for more really cool fabrics and fibers.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait and I love the sneak peek
ReplyDeleteThanks RTquilter, I'll look at the gallery, but shipping from the UK would be prohibitive! ;)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely interesting pieces. I'd love to see the finished piece.
ReplyDeletebeing a simple girl, I would be quite happy with the red silk! then combined with the florals, well, anything is possible! Will be back to see how you have made it come together...
