Miriam.........
Hi to all members of Challengingourselves..........
This has been a great experience for me. I love to work with sheer fabrics and tulle. I wanted to experiment with finding ther Hidden Treasure in the sea, which is the COLOURS.
I like to tear my fabrics for some of my projects. I layered my fabrics to blend them like the colours of the sea. I then stitched with threads of various similar colours, again blending.....
My first piece is a long wallhanging called THE COLOURS OF THE BEACH. This measures 50" wide x 9" deep.
My second piece was made in a similar way but then cut into triangles and reassembled into a Hexagon, which I then embellished with more torn fabrics. This is ccalled HIDDEN TREASURES and measures 21" from flat side to flat side.
I am currently working on a lampshade make using the same technique.....I will post a photo when it is finished.
It is now just after midnight - May 15th. I am posting this now as I will be gone from home very early tomorrow morning and wont be back till late evening...........
Miriam.
