At last!
One week prior to reveal day I had my idea. It would need cutting, fusing, and embellishing. Yup! I
took your beautiful hand dyed fabric pressed it to Misty Fuse and slashed it
apart. It looked like this when I was
done.
Next I
chose fabric that would act as a canvas for my idea. Using a stencil and some Shiva paint sticks,
I created a border.
A few
more pieces had to be cut; some of them fussy.
Now it was a matter of arranging all of the
pieces, fusing them to the background and doing some FMQ stitching to hold
things in place.
With everything now “stuck” in place there was
no turning back. Embellishing was the
next order of business and your charms and fibers fit in perfectly. I added some additional items, some hand embroidery
and some fancy machine stitchery. You can hop over to my blog and see more process pictures.
So what do you think? Does this remind you of Mardi Gras?
