Continuing the explorations of textures in the SAQA 100 Day Challenge Reboot, I’m experimenting with an idea suggested by an image I pinned on Pinterest of a highly informal grid layout of a watercolour painting. I searched, but the artist’s name the name was too hard to find, so I’m just posting the link so you can see where this inspiration comes from<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Print fabric with ‘halos’ of shot silk, which is not always oriented the same way. LH<\/span> the print is over the silk, RH<\/span> the centre of the silk has a hole cut in the middle and it sits over the print.<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Next, I had to decide the stitch treatment for each.<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, the left sample above – I am happy with the effect, but I didn’t anticipate how the quite light fawn thread would show through the cream fabric when it rested against the white paper coating of the foamcore. I could unpick the little x’s, but on the other hand I quite like their unexpected diagrammatic, star constellation effect, something I could use sometime, maybe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Print added over organza before stitching.<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A ring of organza, ‘halo’ placed over the circle of print before stitching.<\/strong><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Second, on the right side of the top photo – definitely one to repeat in several ways: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • the link to the watercolourist’s website includes lines in the composition which could be represented with stem stitch or couched lines<\/li>
  • strong plain coloured shapes could have this kind of halo placed over them and stitched with this or other textures<\/li>
  • on a very large scale, the ‘halo’ itself could have cut or burned holes in it …<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
