Well I honestly don't really know where this came from - one of those moments where a bunch of disparate thoughts/notions/threads came together with opportunity and we were off!
I have been thinking about stitching a small needlecase; so was rummaging through scrap fabric. I was at home. It is summer. I saw somewhere (and honestly have no recall of where despite trawling through the likely places) an image of a corn cob. What else could possibly happen?
So I went to town and bought a cob of corn, and peeled it. It seems odd to say peel; but that was indeed the action.
The scene is set (the concrete alphabet letters are a distraction - they are acting as paper and fabric weights)
It worked on all sorts of fabric and now I have a motley collection of marks to include in my stitching!
These are interesting, I love the look of the base of bok choy printed too.
ReplyDeleteSounds fascinating Penny - I can see it in my mind's eye. I really enjoyed this corn printing - I got that absolute excitable sense of delight as they emerged, and that is gold! Go well.
Deletewait, what? concrete letters? how intriguing
ReplyDeleteand I love the painted results ... the random-not-randomness of them ... reminding me somehow of moon phases in series
Oh yes Liz - a summer project awaits...we have the moulds! The marks are remarkable; I too love htheirer sense of there/not there, half in/half out and just a little bit random. They truly delight me and make me happy!
