I'm sorry for the NQP of the title but I had so much fun doing this! Auditioning fabric in terms of colour and placement is one of the most enjoyable parts of quilt making for me so I don't know why I haven't used collage before. You can tell that this is a first for me because of the quality of the technique - I suddenly seemed to have eight fingers on each hand all of which were getting in the way as I stitched.
I had chosen some fabric which when put together reminded me of a trip, many years ago, to Denmark and I moved on from there .....
I should add that what look like staples at the top of this piece is a line of stitch which happened to catch the flash of the camera!
I think the greens, the yellow and the boysenberry work nicely with the assigned colour.
ReplyDeleteGreat collage - love your mix of colours.
ReplyDeleteI like your colour choice too and the way that the black provides a frame
ReplyDeleteGreat mix of colours and design. The whole piece works well and makes a very interesting design.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Love the use of the elusive periwinkle and the stitching. Very evocative of a long ago trip.
ReplyDeleteLove the colours, the shapes, contrasts, various textures and additional mixed media. I was trying to do the same but you succeeded. You should do more of this. Hilary
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to step into new territory. You make it look easy. Very nice addition of the variagated thread in the periwinkle fabric.
ReplyDeleteCollages are not easy and you did a stunning job! I especially like the special stitching that you added. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteMemory is the perfect theme for collage and it looks like you had fun combining paper, stitch and fabric for your piece. Also love the use of script to convey a more personal statement.
ReplyDeletelove this piece, evocative. colors complement each other well and hand stitching is used so well.
