I feel very cross with myself that I am still not keeping up with this blog. This is partly because I am just not keeping up with my textile work, and partly because I just keep forgetting.
I went to the Foston Studio day today and had a lovely time. I was working on a fabric collage, inspired by one of my paintings. I hope to take some photographs over the next few days and post them here.
I also made some fabric paper, or is it paper fabric, I can never remember. Anyway, starting with a fine scrim background I added fabric medium, then a collage of thin papers, then fabric paint and then a top layer of tissue paper. I had a few ideas whilst on holiday of using this in my fabric collage work. I think I would have been better making white or natural sheets of fabric paper instead of colouring them, but they do look lovely and I can easily make more later.
