Another fabric abstract

When I was making or remaking embellished work of this type a year or more ago I categorised them all as part of sets called either Meltdown or City, (1,2,3 etc) but later some of them seemed to find other names. This one is now In the Sun. Most of the pics I put on this blog or elsewhere are quite low resolution by current online standards but this one has a few more pixels.

In the Sun, mixed textiles embellished and embroidered, 25×25, box framed, 2024

It can be satisfying to take colour to an extreme.

Hare Masks

I’m waiting for the post to bring some 18g (1mm) aluminium wire to make the supporting frame for these masks, the embellished fabric in this first pic is a bit heavier than usual (lower pic) and so needs a slightly stiffer wire.

Once the fabric versions are complete, maybe five or six, I’m going to start on some leather ones, with a somewhat different set of tools although the sewing machine will still play a part.

Hare Mask 2, mostly finished

Mostly finished and mostly a trial for the shaping and finishing.
