I then drew from the layered structure, which was made more difficult by everything 'moving around' every time I shifted in my chair. Anyway, this is the pencil drawing I did from my layered cotton reels.
I then coloured in a photocopy and started to draw on top of the image but then wished that I hadn't drawn on top.
or maybe you prefer it in a landscape format?
We then used canvas and thick threads to continue our design explorations. I have never enjoyed working with canvas and this time was no exception but I did like the affect I achieved by stitching with some of my dyed fabric. I think it's the randomness of the colours and the texture that I like.
What next? Well I won't be progressing the canvas work but it has provided inspiration for my fabric printing and with a bit more tweaking of the image it may inspire a new piece of work.
It is interesting following what you are doing with TTF although I agree about the canvas. Don't think it would inspire me much either!
ReplyDeleteI do prefer it in portrait format and maybe also flip it? But then maybe not :)The textures you've created on the canvas is lovely.
