With summer upon me and some weeks off from teaching, I had many a project in mind. However, I also had some trips planned for which I wanted to have some projects to keep me busy on the plane or at the beach. And so, I looked through my stash for inspiration and decided that the one piece of brown silk that I had purchased at a quilter's estate sale would be my starting point. I only had a little left because I had used it several times before. The remains were somewhat random in size and not large in quantity. This created an opportunity to stretch my creativity and use what I had on hand to make a small series. I wanted a small project that was portable and called for some hand stitching. I decided that if I made all of the pieces using a similar color palette I could hang them together and create the illusion of a larger work. And so my ideas took shape.
I made nine little pieces that were 6 X 6 inches each. I limited my color palette so I could concentrate on collage and stitch. It was an easy breezy summer series.
Each piece includes some commercial cottons, cotton batiks, scraps from my stash of silks, upholstery or other random fabrics that met the color palette. Finally each piece had to include a piece of the brown silk that was my inspiration and a piece of vintage doily from my increasing stash.
Each of them was mounted on a canvas that I painted with several coats of brown paints and then covered with some Lumiere gold. A couple of coats of UV protective sealer from Golden acrylics and voila. To finish the back I took some vintage sheet music and painted it with gesso and then gave it a couple of washes of Titan Buff. It made the paper a bit stiffer and made a good backing.
