But first I had to make a journal to put my homework in. Whilst I love making journals I think it's probably more of a reaction to when I was at university and we were told what size sketchbook to use and we weren't allowed to decorate them which was crazy beings as we were doing a creative degree. Enough said, rant over.
The theme for this term's embroidery class is Summer so I immediately thought of gardens (and daytrips to cemeteries) so I used pages from old gardening books and some of my stash of floral wallpapers.
I began playing around with fabric transfer paints. When I was in class a stray thread had got in the way of the transfer but I liked the happy accident so decided to explore that further, using threads, lace and gauze as masks.
Wow, very pretty! I love your experiments! Thanks for sharing this inspiration. And schools have stupid rules sometimes (decided not to share my rants, lol).
