It is my dd's birthday next month and she wanted some black and white pictures for her dining room. Something with a modern feel.
Last night I felt inspired (and a little bit lazy: too lazy to stitch or so I thought!) so out came the stapler, some of my canvases which I quickly Gesso'd over and voila; fabric art! I can show them here because she has no interest at all in my blog; well, she is only 24. Far too busy living and having fun for blogging!
My first applique! I know: too tired to stitch but when you get an idea you have to follow through don't you? I stitched over two threads of the fabric; someone told me to do it over one but that to me seemed like madness: the stitching tension could cause it to fray.
So two threads seemed healthier!
I saw something similar in a shop for 37 euros....and it was rubbish how it was made. So I knew I could do better. I am really pleased with them and it is so nice when a pretty piece of fabric can just speak for itself! Simple but effective, or at least that is my opinion!
I hope you are all having a lovely Sunday! See you soon!
Very creative! Love it.
