Study in Blue
Deconstructivism – What a word! What a challenge! It took me 2 months to find a picture or composition that I felt I could interpret as a Fibre Artist.
Once I had my picture and had enlarged it, I traced off the different ‘buildings’ onto cardboard and then onto a thin but firm batting so that I could work each ‘building’ separately and then place them together.
The sky effect eventually ‘gelled’ after the 4th ‘audition’! I used Oil Pastels and a variegated Japanese thread over the mottled sky.
The ‘definition’ cording thread was Ink – dyed.
The blue Chiffon, here and there, added some ‘bling’ to the buildings.
Had to add a bit of embroidery in the way of grasses against the one building.
Really an interesting challenge – perhaps I will redo the picture in a different colour one day!
