I am trying to define the different areas by using contrasting tones and so far it seems to be working.
I also have an experimental piece on the go. I have recently seen some youtube videos of fabric journals and thought it would be fun to have a go. The video showed how to put finished pieces together to make a fabric book. I thought it would be an idea to try and make 12 pieces, 1 for each month, and put them together at the end of the year. I know, this sounds like another challenge which could result in a busy December but I'll give it a go.
The first piece will be inspired by a recent trip to Cleethorpes. I picked up some shells to use for inspiration and decided I wanted some grey cloth for the background - representing the cloudy sky and grey sea. I didn't have any grey material but did have some acrylics so have painted some calico. My background is 9 inches square and represents the pale sun in a cloudy sky. Watch this space for the next part of the experiment!
