Reworked

Somewhat the same...yet a little different.

Yesterday I started fusing some of the stripe strips with a little bit of a curve...and with some solids mixed in. My intention was to do a whole piece this way.

The more I fused the more unhappy I became...so I let it sit.  The minute I looked at it again this morning I knew it was too much. So I sliced it apart and reworked it and this is where I ended up.

The solids are Kaffe Fassett shot cottons which are woven with two different colors for the warp and weft making the fabric rich and textural.

 

I used the dark gray thread that I've been liking for my top stitching....and again used simple wavy lines. I always fuse it to a piece stabilizer the size of the front of canvas. The top gets glued on and the sides get fused around the canvas.
