Textile postcard Week #97


Tuesday, August 11th -17th 2019


Blending colour
This machined design looks much more complex than it is in reality. I used 2 commercial fabrics which looked pleasing together. They were layered and cut into strips at the same time. Then fitted back together in a woven design. I chose a ‘wrigglie’ machine embroidery stitch to join the raw edges of the weave. The technique really looks quite effective depending on the fabrics used.
Apology for the darkness of my photo. Posting this entry into my records has been a slow process because we are 'outback travellers' at present and I am  using the WiFi connection at Mt Ive Station near the Gawler Ranges in South Australia.
Maybe  a little more distinct!
