So is That What It Looks Like?

The November Fast Friday Fabric Challenge, microscopic and paint or dye

Cellular view of a condition I have, was amazed when I looked it up it was kind of pretty on a cellular level.

Started with deconstructed screen printing using dyes, then added some stenciling with fabric paint, minimal free motion thread work topped off with puff paint to give it that 3-d quality.

Finished at 8.5 x 11 in

There Used To Be A Farm Here

Here is the latest in my Sub-Urban Decay/Rustic Rejuvenation Series. It is 31 " square, and used many techniques including mixed media. Some of the techniques are; Selective Rusting, Sun Printing, Plant Prints, Stamping, Image Transfer, Free Motion Quilting, Hand Painted, Applique,and Yarn Couching. It also incorporates painted Dryer Sheets, Cheese cloth and fusing all melted to simulate paint peeling off of the trucks.

60's Style

This piece has been a challenge for me from conception, I have had to use and stretch some design principles. I have had trouble with getting the perspective correct for both vehicles, Since they are two separate photos taken at separate times this has been troubling. I have worked it out well I think.

I used my Selective rusting technique on the vehicles and was able to add some rust to the quilted rock wall to add depth and dimension to it. I have used mostly rusted fabrics on the background and border to enhance the picture.

I finished the background quilting on this to keep the hole piece simplistic and I think it helps give more weight to the feeling of it being aged. The tulle shadow add just the right touch.

Finished piece is 21.5 x 29.5 inches
