Fabric and batting mounted on 9 x 12 canvas The first thing that came to mind when challenged to do a piece incorporating Stitches, was a picture I took in Kendra's second year in which she was laughing so hard, she seemed to be "in stitches."
I printed the picture onto fabric with Golden's Digital Ground for Non-Porous Surfaces and attached it -- along with several other pieces of fabric -- with my version of sewing. I used several colors of thread and several different types of stitches, purposely doing so in a haphazard fashion. This technique worked especially well since the last thing I remember sewing was a button. Or did my Mom do it for me?
Well, whatever the case may be, I so appreciate the chance to learn and grow from the prompts given from www.mixedmediamonday.wordpress.com. Thank you for looking! I look forward to next week . . .
Kristin - this is a wonderful piece! Love the double interpretation of the theme - "in stitches" and real stitches as well :-) Diane
