Stage 3
Ah….this is better!
O.k. no more glue just sewing, that made me feel a lot better!
First a little sample made with a watersoluble stabilizer. Normally I would stitch quite heavily onto this, so after the stabilizer is dissolved the whole piece keeps its integrity.
This time I wanted to experiment a little to see if it was possible to work with single sewn lines with the squares of fabric ensuring the integrity of the piece.
It’s very delicate, but proves it can be done.
My next sample is a small piece of applique.
The contrasting fabric is a little remnant of the bleached black.
I like the striking effect that those very thin lines can have.
And am wondering about creating turning a line drawing into applique using this method.
It would be a hell of a job, asking for great precision, but I think the effect could be spectacular.
