These details will help you see that the pattern in the background is fabric that is cut and layered to form the designs. I used the wavy and pinking blades of the rotary cutter to form some of the tiny shapes.

This is very cool, Melody. I'm glad that you stated the pattern was created from small fused pieces because it would have been hard to tell. But, I can really envision it, especially after seeing Matchstick Moons up-close-and-personal. Of course you would piece together the pattern and not paint it, duh.
ReplyDeleteIt was impressive as painted fabric... as fused ... now I understand where some of that "matchstick mentality" came from.
ReplyDeleteAll that tweezer time!!
Wow. I have been doing the tweezer thing with the Monument Valley piece and it drives me crazy after a while. This piece is just so totally awesome. I knew at least some of the background detail was fused but thought MAYBE some was patterned fabric. I should have known better since you only use your own fabrics.
ReplyDeleteIt would look so awesome on my dining room wall. I have a needlepoint of my mom's of tulips there now. It is pretty but very pale and the wall is pale yellow....so your tulips would look great!
