Anybody NOT from Eastern Canada familiar with "begin'igin"? (It means, "begin, again".) ;)
So, remember my whole resin gone wrong experiment?
Well, I'm not trying it again - at least, not yet! *w* But I AM re-making that Bremen piece which was the subject of that debacle!
So, I started with the same silk floral as the background fabric - I had just enough to piece together a background (!) and then I commenced to cutting out my house, my one billion teeny tiny leaves and my trees.
As you can see, it does look at bit different than the original - but this time I free-hand cut with the old in front of me, rather than drawing patterns on the paper back of the fused material and cutting them out that way (I can't shake the thought somehow that it's damaging my scissors to do that!)
And I'm including this old photo just for fun.
NEVER FORGET.
lol
Finished piece on Friday!
P.S. - and it's Wednesday, so THAT means WIP Wednesday at The Needle And Thread Network

This is fantastic!! you do wonderful work
ReplyDeleteI like it. The background fabric adds a kind of tranquil Monet-ish quality.
ReplyDeleteIt's sweet! I like the background fabric. I keep a pair of scissors labeled just for cutting the fabric on the fusible.
ReplyDelete"Always we begin again." (The Rule - St. Benedict -- paraphrased). :-) Like!
ReplyDeleteYou are very brave to share your whole process, including the unsuccessful ones, on your blog. Kudos for your determination in finishing the piece after all! Well done.
