Fibre Art Tapestry Series
Fibre Art Tapestry Series
Series A
I did not have the space to paint but still had the urge to
create. I looked in my box of supplies and found a piece of burlap my Gram had
given me. Then I found a bag of embroidery thread from past projects. The
burlap was really large and the weave was tight so I knew it would take me
awhile. I almost stopped right there. Instead I pictured a pattern, closed my
eyes, put my hand in the bag of floss and choose a colour. I divided it and
thread the needle. I then tossed the burlap and where it fell on the needle I
started the pattern. I finished the length of floss and started the process
again with a new pattern and colour of floss. It took over two years to complete
it was the first in Series A of the tapestry or fibre art collection. I
continued in using this process to complete 25. I also used aida cloth instead
of burlap for some.
Series B
I used broadcloth instead of aida cloth or burlap. I drew or
on a few used the same shapes for a whole piece. This was more about contrast
and colour. There are nine in this series.
Series C
I used random running stitches on broadcloth. Using the same
colour choice technique in Series A - a limited number of colours picked with
closed eyes. I used a small embroidery ring as my limiting frame for the colour
and moved it to start the next colour. I am still working on this series.
