Pattern

Today I'm sharing more from the photo inspiration archive.  These photos are based on patterns.

What sort of photos do you take?

A Companion Piece

Last month I told you about a new hanging I am making using fabrics I printed and dyed on the Text, Texture, Tile workshop.

With the fabric I had left over, I cut strips and randomly sewed them together.

I cut the assembled pieces into narrower pieces and laid them out.

Instead of having all the pieces running vertically as in the previous hanging, I tried putting some horizontally.

I tried the pieces in different places and then bgan to sew the strips together.

The bottom half of the hanging assembled, with added narrow blue strips.

I carried on assembling the pieces together.  I really like this with it's strange edges but I think it will probably need to squared off.

I cropped the photograph to see what it would look like.

I have bonded the uncropped version onto acrylic felt and a backing fabric ready to sew.  I'll share the sewing expereince in another post.

See you soon.

Photo Inspiration

As I've said to you before, on my computer I have gathered together photos into folders labelled Buildings, Decay, Line, Machines, Pattern, Rust, Shape and Texture. Whenever and wherever I am out and about I take photos of these things which possibly have no relation to the outing I'm on. They are supposed to provide inspiration for sketchbook work but really just reside on the computer.

Today's photos are about texture.

Did you spot the uncropped one with my foot in the photo?
