Fabric in Art 5 PA #12

This ICAD was pretty quick but used up some pieces of fabric interfacing I had Geli printed sometime ago.



Fabric in Art 4 PA #12

Another one for Paper Artsy Challenge #12 using one of my ICADs. Just using up scraps from a fun shirt I made with the dog fabric. Not terribly happy with this as I think I ruined the definition of the dogs by adding some brown spray. My puppy really is warm happiness though!



Fabric in Art 3 PA#12

Taking part in the ICAD Challenge at Daisy Yellow Art. Not following the prompts - just taking it as it comes. This one started trying out some new Liquitex inks with muslin, stamping and some gold embossing.

Fabric in Art 2 PA #12

This latest challenge from Paper Artsy is to use fabric in art.
This little credit card holder is made from paper fabric. The base is muslin with layers of paper - some Geli prints and some tissue - glued on and then sewn.


Fabric in Art 1 PA#12

This fortnight's challenge from Paper Artsy is to use fabric in your art.
My first piece is something I made many years ago when my children were small. It is an applique depicting the creation story. I had been making them clothes and many of the fabrics I used were left overs from this.

Our House 5 PA #11

My second, favourite attempt at this process following Christy Sobolewski's YouTube video. These were created with homemade stamps made with sheets of foam and stamped with archival ink.
Again featuring the little brown kiwi.





Our House 4 PA #11

Inspired by Christy Sobolewski's video on YouTube about making simple stamps from sheets of foam.
Her subject was perfect for this challenge so thought I would give it a go and use her process as a guide.
This was my attempt in my 'good' journal but in the end I liked the one in a rough recycled text book that I did as an extra. See the next post.
I decided to include the little brown kiwi in both compositions as I was thinking about family and home and he seemed to sit happily in the nghere (bush).
