Well my first thought when this challenge theme was chosen was to do a volcano erupting into an ocean. Scratched that one.
I have been wanting to try weaving strips of fabric, so chose the red for fire, the blue for the water, blacks, and different browns for the earth, and finally the gray for air. I weaved the fabrics in and then used red thread to do free motion stitching.
This was a first for me, I had bought a new Janome 6600 in June and this was the first machine I had that could drop the feed dogs. It is not great free motion, but I liked doing it and am sure I will do more. My piece is 9 by 11.
I like the idea Tammy --- It is well done and I can see you are really

Tammy, My first idea was also a volcano and the ocean, but it did not work for me either. I love how your the fabrics in your weaving are in more than one block. I will have to try my hand at weaving, it looks like such a great background treatment.
ReplyDeleteTammy such a different idea. Fabric weaving is such a different background and you have it down to a fine art.
