I have them all next to one another to get the picture, I doubt if they will be displayed this way. I still have labels to put on the backs and hanging wires.
I did my first sketch and watercolor assignment. Not perfect, but then it's a learning experience and it was much easier than I expected. I should do one a day, then I probably would improve.
While clearing some things out about a year and a half ago I found a small bag full of 1 1/2" squares, fabric samples I had ordered a very long time ago. I dumped them into a bowl by my sewing machine and sewed a couple together almost every time I'd sit down to sew. Then threw those in a bag. I've now pieced them all into a quilt top.
The Weekly Leaf, year two.
I printed this weeks leaf last summer with a variation of deconstructive screen printing. It's a grape leaf that I coated with thickened dye, placed on a screen and let dry. This is how it looked on the screen after the dye dried and I pulled the leaf off.
Then using clear print paste I printed it on hand dyed green fabric. I did about five prints, the first three were very faint. I've used the last one, on the right below.

OH my gosh......you are making me feel VERY unproductive.....everything you posted makes me want to run and pick up a needle. The Voids piece is stunning....really, really stunning!
ReplyDeleteBTW - perhaps an invitation to Idaho would make me come out of retirement....grinning....
Mary said it all. I can't believe how much you accomplish, making me feel like a lazy slug. I, too, love the voids and everything else!
ReplyDeleteI agree that Voids is stunning. You have made me want to get on with some hand stitching again.
ReplyDeleteAnother vote for stunning here and I like them all displayed together like that.
ReplyDeleteI too like the voids displayed together, but I also think they would be really compelling spread out along a single long wall or something.
ReplyDeleteYour printed and embroidered leaf is awesome- I love that combined texture from the printing and stitching.
The voids are extremely elegant together like that.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda
ReplyDeleteI am a bit behind with my blog visiting and commenting! I LOVE what you have done with the voids. It is also inspiring for me, because I have been thinking about doing a FMQ motif sampler in black and white squares and wondered if it would be too auster. But I really like the effect of what you have done Your stitching is so elegant.
I also really like what you have done with all those little squares. The piece is great fun!
