Painted Canvas
Some experiments with fabric paints on white canvas.
|
| This piece was painted plain red. The middle is stitched in overdyed
viscose ribbon by Stef Francis in a variation on T stitch. The outer stitching is sections carefully
cut from a skein of Caron Watercolours. The scan does not show the texture contrast between the
slightly shiny ribbon and matte perle cotton. |
|
| My next idea was to paint stripes. The stitching is in DMC flower thread. |
|
| Red splodges of paint on yellow while it was still wet resulted in orange
shapes. The flowers have scotch stitch in the middle, surrounded by French knots, in a thick wool thread
called Tweedie from Rainbow Gallery. The tendrils are in overdyed boucle rayon from Stef Francis. The
darker shade is picked up in the beads used to fill in between the French knots. The wool thread is very
thick, so this piece is three dimensional and there is a contrast between the shine of the beads and the
furry texture of the wool. |
