I appear to be in a creative zone, from art dolls to silk paper
I used this picture as my inspiration
Using cocoon strippings I made a base fibre and added tussah silks to create a cross like image
Next I added merino and silks in greens as a background colour
Then I decided to pick up on the tulip shape in purples, blues and red merino and silks
The effect was quite nice, but difficult to see clearly, so I decided to add fabric paint to distinguish the tulip shapes
Really lovely. Also fascinating to see a pictorial and text walkthrough of your process
I think it helps if someone wants to have a go 🙂
Beautiful Carole. I love silk paper.
It looks so fragile yet it is as strong as ol’boots, I have actually put silk paper into tote bags 🙂
Very nice – I love the ethereal look of the tulips
Thank you Ruth, I was relying on the glue in silk, which semi works, but I need a textile medium for getting a stronger image. Like you I love the floatiness of semi visible images too.
