Night Garden 1 (almost finished)

Night Garden, mixed textiles embellished and embroidered, about 50 x 50 cm

Almost finished, this piece has been hanging around for months waiting for some inspiration as to how to finish it. I tried adding a mouse but that didn’t work well. When in doubt, stitch, but now I’m afraid of wrecking what there is. The surface is rather fragile as it is mainly nunofelt with scraps of fabric below, all stitched and embellished.

One day later… I added a little more stitch, tried to reemphasise the cat but subtly then, deciding it was finished I added a backing. Next a gently wash then seal with very dilute pva. Then press and a frame of some sort.

Inspiration can come from anywhere as we all know, I found a little this morning in the pics posted on Facebook by Sarah Ross-Thompson, a Fine Art Printmaker, specialising in colourful landscape collagraphs. She modestly says, “oh I would never claim to be a photographer. Just a point and press on the iPad.”

I have many scraps of nunofelt made years ago, mostly used for doll costumes and seeing Sarah’s snaps inspired me to stitch and embellish some of them. Just getting started.

More meltdown

Sorting through piles of old fabric scraps I came across these pieces of nunofelt, made many years ago on my kitchen table. These are left over from some other half-forgotten project, party clothing for a friend. Now to be reworked as Meltdown Cold Fusion (lol), the blue piece …
