Repetitive Stitching to Add Texture

The build up of tulle and thread.

Next Comes the Texture

My painted whole cloth is on my long arm.  The sky is done and now it's time to add the texture of tulle and threads.  This becomes more and more fun because the creation becomes more and more spontaneous.

Trying to post photos

After messing around with Apps, I have at least posted one photo today.  Let's hope this gets easier or I will remember why I thought blogging was not worth the effort!

Painting Done

I have played with paints. The next step will be heat setting painted surface.  Then I will get ready to put the piece on batting and backing on my long arm, and relate the layered look by adding sheer fabrics. This is my, "compose as you go," method.

Playing with paint, trying to layer a western scene.  Thinking with my hands and eyes. Blogger has become too sophisticated. I want to add a photo and can't seem to do it.

Beginning is half done.  That's an old quote from something and to me it means, " Just start something!" Get in motion, dip a paintbrush into some paint, grab a pencil and sketch some lines on cloth, do something! I have just pinned some white cotton to my easel.  There are are few sketched lines.  I am thinking horses.  Here I go.

Happy New Year 2016

Well, Idon't blog very much, but I still create fiber art. I guess it's like the New Years resolution to diet, time to begin again! I have recently worked on small things, a wedding present for someone that I love, a small piece for an art gift exchange, a couple small ideas to adorn the few blank spots on my house walls. There are art quilts everywhere. They adorn my house and are rolled up in my closet. My easel is always setup and ideas are always drifting through my mind! Guess I'll start another new idea! My best to you for the coming year. Judy Anderson
