| Hand Out / Handout |
For the background I chose one of "failed" dyed pieces. It had been put aside for overprinting. Here it represents the sometimes conflicting meanings of the word/phrase Hand out / Handout. Some have meanings which arouse strong feelings in some people - hence the bright colours. I searched for meanings in my dictionary and Thesaurus, jumbling these all together in to a sequence of words which are repeated as part of the background. The calligraphy was achieved by writing directly onto the background fabric using permanent markers. Over the top is the outline of my left hand printed onto silk, again with repeated words. The whole piece has been free-machine quilted using hand outlines in variegated thread.
Well done Mandy.This is most effective.A good use of a 'failed'fabric.
ReplyDeleteThanks Hilary.
ReplyDeleteI have thought long and hard about this one but so far have not come up with anything further than writing text on a background, but a background to what. Well done Hilary.
ReplyDeleteThanks Irene,but I'm afraid I can't take any credit for this piece!!
ReplyDeleteSorry Mandy, congratulations should have gone to you in my comment above.
ReplyDeleteNo problem, Irene. I do value your comments, and yes, this was not an easy topic.
