Last time I shared my new poem Conviction. Despite having at least three textile pieces on the go, I decided I had to start a new piece with the new poem.
I wrote the poem onto calico with an italic Copic pen. I used my Thermofax screens to put broken bits of chain using acrylic paint.
I cut it up into 4.5 inch squares leaving the two questions whole.
I laid out the squares fairly randomly in terms of which line they came from, but made sure that each square was facing a different way. I sewed all the squares together and added the questions at the bottom.
This will be put onto wadding and a backing and a binding put round the edge.
I want to add some more chains. I thought about maybe painting some of the plastic chain I have left from the Dancing in Fetters piece. In the photo you have to imagine that the chain has been painted to look rusty.
However I've decided I will stitch large chains. I scanned the thermofax image into the computer and made it larger. I've printed it off ready to trace onto tissue so I can hand stitch later this week.
I'll let you know how I get on.
Thanks for being here today
