One interesting image in today’s Pinterest updates was of collages, and following a link took me to a group of little works in small boxes arranged and fixed to the wall; I pinned it to my presentations board<\/strong> <\/a>as I’m always interested in how other fibre artists present their works. Following that<\/em> link took me to a whole page of such collections of small boxes of fibre and paper art in various sizes and arrangements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following links online can take one down lots of rabbit holes, and one I mentioned in yesterday’s post was the German artist Beate Hien<\/a><\/strong> who’d created a framed work I saw on Pinterest, and thinking it was stitching, went to her website where I found that pic on the prints page<\/a> <\/strong>. As I looked around I found her lovely, interesting work is not stitch as I’d presumed, but paper in various forms and techniques. I was a bit disappointed there was no artist statement on her site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was not only browsing in Pinterest, though, because for a new Instagram post I was looking in my own photos for more beach sand pics that have inspired some of my works https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/schwabealison\/p\/DU3h_IOicK1\/<\/a> <\/strong>and then came across this photo of a quilt I rediscovered some time back:<\/p>\n\n\n

Although I finished it completely at the time, I’m sure I must have known back 14 years ago that this was no major opus \ud83d\ude42 I photographed it in 2023, just after I’d unfolded it but it’s back in the cupboard again. Now there’s a heap of critical comments I could make about it because its blindingly obvious I didn’t give enough thought to the finished texture results, as (1) <\/strong> the sand ridges should have been painted in a lighter colour than the background to stand out, and (2)<\/strong> they could have been given a bit of trapunto treatment before the piece was layered and stitched, which would have also enhanced the dimensional effect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking back at older works periodically is always useful, I’ve found.<\/em><\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n
