Appliqué

Sewing homework this week was to make a portrait of Freda Kahlo using raw edge appliqué. The words are what she said inspired her work, perhaps originating from the appalling health problems she had all her life.

Dyeing

Experimenting with dyeing calico & cotton rag paper using things found in the kitchen - red & brown onions, plums, turmeric, plums, orange peel & avocado. The papers are to make a book for the next Stroud Artist Books meeting. The fabric I want to use to make a stitch diary.
