I started with the collaged Stripe patterns from this exercise. The bright jewel like colours spoke ribbons so I raided my stash and visited the ribbon man (my local market is wonderful and full of treasures!)
Stitching and snipping, reassembling in different forms
I feel some success in colour proportions and I made some interesting rhythms of colour and shape, they are flat yarns.
I took the Wildly coloured collage and interpreted colours I could see. I laminated plastic bags, collaging colours and ironing them together, A laminating pouch was too rigid, polythene bags and bubble wrap more successful, I added a little stitching.
Cutting shapes and joining in different ways could easilly hold my attention for some time , however I do not have time on my side for now.
I simply could not move on without a nod to nature, I am more beguiled by Earths’ treasures, than our trash.
