studio journal

We were asked to cut out shapes from paper to show negative and positive images we could then transfer them onto fabric well I suppose you could then make lino cut stamps to apply the image, or print with the computor directly onto the fabric using Bubblejet set, but I am not inspired by mine. The coloured image was papercuts bonded with bondaweb and then a wash of inks.


We had to alter some photos with a kaleidoscope design & then simplify it ready to use on fabric ,didn`t really appeal to me. These 2 black and white designs were left over from the negative/positive pieces so one I wove and the other looks like a cross between Ned Kelly and a creature from outer space,oh well!

It's a shame none of these are doing it for you, I think they are fab, especially the bottom 2. Lovely to see your sketchbook.

Hmmm!! I see where you're coming from, Pippa, I did a workshop like this recently and it left me cold too.
Having said that, I do like the shapes you've created in the mauve set. I like the way you've offset the squares, and the clolour/texture looks good too.
The individual textures and patterns on the B&W look exciting too.

It may be hard to interpret in fabric or thread, but your woven pieces are sure fun to look at! I finally had a breakthrough of sorts and found some joy in a simple papercut. I am looking forward to what next week might bring though :- )

It'd interesting seeing other people's interpretations of this class. You've even read instructions that I've missed!

I'd love to play with your black and white woven piece by selecting a smaller area and opening it up to enhance the positive and negative areas. The funy thing is I'd never see an opportunity like this in my own experiments!
