The Documented Life Project 2015 has a new theme for May and it's one close to my heart:
Touchy Feely (texture), and this week's Art Challenge:
fabric,is even better! The Journal Prompt is:
The Fabric of your Life. What a treat! I started with a piece of heavy duty watercolour paper, grabbed my box of vintage lace and started stitching them onto the paper. For once I remembered to take a picture.
Then I used a selection of Dylusions spray inks and added colour. The fabric rather soaks up the inks but the colour worked beautifully. I also scraped on some yellow and pink acrylic paint.
I was definitely in the mood for sparkle and added it in the shape of
Stewart Gill Galatica Golden Orange Glitter. It looks very coppery and for once I managed to capture it on camera. The piece didn't need much more apart from the text. I used my label writer to add
Fabric is My Life text and sewed it on.
Finally I made a discovery when I turned the page over and discovered that my sewing lines had acted as stencils when I sprayed on the inks and had provided an interesting pattern on the back. Something to tuck away as an idea for future use!
