More Queen Anne's Lace




I have a few more to make but had to stop for the day, I printed more fabric (birds) and it won't be ready to use until tomorrow afternoon sometime; I'm working on my new Natural Dyeing App while I wait on the fabric.

WIP - Crow Tree


Now in the auditioning stage.  Digitally printed silk organza fabric layered on top of painted timtex.

 
The digital print laying on top of some rosin paper, that I have covering my sewing table.


Digital silk print layered on top of a cotton digital print.  I'm experimenting with the ethereal values of the prints at this point to see which direction I want this piece to go.

Making Crows


Digitally printed silk organza fabric layered atop painted timtex.


It's best to stitch all of the finer bits of the bird before cutting out the shape, otherwise those bits will be damaged by the presser foot.


Cut away the excess fabric/timtex before cutting out hte final bird shape.


Trim away the excess threads for the final bird shape and add additional stitching if needed.


I still need to add the eye.


Auditioning the crow to see how it looks in the niche.


A closer look.


Barbed wire detail, backed with a piece of watercolor paper painted with gouache, watercolors, and ink.

Digitally printed silk organza fabric, machine stitched, aurifil threads.  Natural dyed silk organa, painted timtex, wooden clock body, and barbed wire.

Birds on a Wire Collage


Now that I have a few things figured out about Adobes Photoshop CS6 I'm back to working up new digital collage pieces.  Tonight I will be building some new works up for my newest niches, tomorrow I'll print them off onto fabric, stitch the collages up and then add them to the niches.
