I layered four pieces of fabric: a base, a layer of yellow/green bourette, then a layer of yellow/orange scrim, a layer of purple bourette and finally a layer of green tulle. I stitched a grid by machine and then handstitched circles from the back. I then cut away different layers. As there are several layers of fabric it can be called a quilt, so I didn't use any batting.
Even though it's a random composition, I do like it!
I would like to see this in reality as the purple does not show on my screen. I love yellow in fact it is my favourite colour. I like the little bits of other colours showing round the circles as a result of your technique.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree Irene. The colours do not show up on my monitor either, which is a shame since I would love to see this piece in it's true colour.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if I know what you mean, I can see the colours? It's very dark purple, a batik piece of hand deyed fabric, it has purple and other colours in it.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to worry you. I think it is probably my own elderly monitor not seeing the colours correctly. The colours here look like a deep almost black-brown with hints of blue and russet. The small pieces being rich yellows and gold. I think I ought to invest in a new monitor.................
ReplyDeleteThat's okay, Mandy! :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat an intriguing technique! And the result is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kelly! I learned this from Distant Stitch
ReplyDeletean online course.
I love the texture that you have achieved in the plain colours. It looks incredibly "painterly".
