| Tea dyed silk organza over tulle is machine stitched echoing the circle appliqué on the fiber collage. (See previous post) The tulle is trimmed away. |
 |
| And stitched by hand with embroidery floss. |
 |
| Stitching of the fiber collage can be seen through the embroidered overlay. |
 |
| A doodle/sketch/idea for our PAIRINGS project became the plan for my practice. |
 |
| Using scraps from my PAIRINGS partner, Suza of Suza Designs a fiber collage was made. I was thrilled when gifted these "trimmings" to use in my various projects. These fabrics were hand woven by using a variegated warp she dyed. |
 |
| Silk circles (from an under used silk blouse) were fuzed to the background collage. |
 |
| A stencil (part of a plastic placemat) was used to create pattern on the silk circles. |
 |
| The printed pattern was enhanced with stitched marks. |
 |
| Hand dyed warp threads were used for stitching. |
 |
| The color variations of the stitches creates interest. |
