2017

We move forward from two successful exhibitions in 2016 in Prague and in the USA to the challenge of an exhibition in the Netherlands in the Autumn. We continue to work on A2 sized pieces in portrait format and will be producing four pieces over the year with the theme of 'Freedom'. An essential part of our art is working in series to a common format which does give us all a framework for our creative endeavours.

Glacier

One of the aerial views I wanted to do was a glacier. A diffcult one, but the pounded fabric I created last month was the perfec starting point. I unrolled and split a cotton ball and added this to add a bit more white to the quilt. Covered everything with a black tulle and stitched through it. This is how it turned out:

    OOOOO I love this one! The overlay of the black tulle tones down the super white of the cotton ball just enough. Great look.

    Looking at an enlarged version, by right clicking the mouse on the image, I was able to see much more clearly the stitching, which really makes the piece resemble an aerial shot of a glacier. A clever idea, Wil. Do I assume that pounded fabric is the same as felted? Very dramatic piece, I like it very much. Elaine.

    No Elaine, pounded fabric is not like felted fabric. Check out my blog post of April 29.

    Looks Great Will, as Elaine said - very dramatic. I too will have to check your blog to see what pounded fabric is! And thanks for the tip Elaine - about getting the enlarged image!
