Day 153
Made some progress on my two fabric collages the day before yesterday BUT then I had to work another graveyard shift and all thoughts went out the window until I caught up on sleep....
....this is the one with the darker background behind the collaged bit....I spent a lot of time shredding fabrics and then basically let the pile of bits fall where they may and stuck each one down with a teeny bit of glue to hold them in place....
....this is what I found for the backing...it felt right the minute we saw it....it is almost like a rough, open weave cotton linen look that I imagine would have been found in Japan at one time....I was curious to find it in quilting cotton section at my local fabric store and the ladies had never seen it before so was it meant for me? .....
...here is the second one with a lighter background under the collaged bits...I left on whatever rough or loose threads wanted to hang around....these are on my list of things to get partially finished today.....
I can't wait to start shamelessly boring you with lots of flower pictures from my yard....things are starting to bloom here in Albuquerque all the trees downtown have their white and pink flowers adding to the landscape-I hope to get some pics next week~ right now all my rose bushes look to have survived the harsh cold we had here and I am eagerly anticipating my jimson weed to start shooting up because I love these HUGE flowers
What will you create today?
