I’m taking part in the The 100 Day Project and have completed days 25-36. You can read about days 1-24 here
I used a piece of fabric I received from Ruth McDonald in an exchange. Great textures, and lots of possibilities.
First I painted it with acrylic paint and stamped it with some foam stamps I bought at a carboot sale the previous day.
Then I dissected it.
Then I reassembled it into 2×2 inch squares….
I really enjoyed using Ruth’s piece, the textures are wonderful, and working at such a small scale mades me really appreciate the weave of the fabric.
Here is the piece I sent to Ruth..
she did this with it..
and then used it in this work in progress. Ruth says…”It’s not finished yet but have done a bit more. I have cut out petal shapes & am stitching them on to water soluble. I am hoping I can eventually dissolve the soluble using a paintbrush to try to avoid wetting the paper shapes. It’s a bit experimental and high risk but thought I’d give it a go! Plan is to do 3 flowers shapes in a row & make a sort of hanging.”
I like a bit of high risk textile art, I’ll charter it’s progress in future chapters.
I recently took part in a swap in another Facebook group where we had to make a “Amulet or Talisman” . I was looking for a piece of fabric to use as a base to add embellishments to. I came across a strip left over from the piece that Tamara Schultz sent me.
There was not much of it to be seen when I had finished, but it’s nice to have used all of Tamara’s piece .
Here what I made for the swap..
The recipient says she feels like she’s been awarded a medal 🙂
Next up for my 100 Days of 2 inchies is this piece I received from Sue Justjems I’m looking forward to getting stuck into it, in the next episode I’ll share what I did, and also what Sue did with the piece I sent her.
I’ll just leave this here ….
Chapter 3 is here
Really cool to see what you are doing with all these pieces! I’m glad my entire piece got used up!!!
I’m glad it all got used as well, I really enjoyed using your piece.
Love your blog style. This is my first fb collaboration and I am delighted to have the privilege of working with such creative and professional people. I have learnt so much and will take the ideas both for future collaborations and recording the progress.
I’m really enjoying it too, makes the 100 days a series of adventures!
Your pieces are turning out great Fran! The days are flying by I need to get a picture of what I have been working on posted. Marianne
