PRIGANART   Art Quilt, Art Fashion & Sewing Tutorials              

I am working on another tutorial and auditioning fabrics for the sample. I made a pact a few years ago not to ever buy fabric again. So when I am designing something I need to be creative. I first envision the design and then the colors. I allow myself to play with tones because I don't always find what I see in my head in the fabric boxes that I have. So flexibilty and creativity is what is called for. I envisioned an ocean but not just blues, turquoise and greens also

I am being influenced by my students. One of the children last year walked around the room and collected loose threads from everyone's scraps. He ended up with a huge pile and we made beads from them. The same thing happened to me today. You know that pile of threads that gets entangled in your scraps? Well today instead of throwing them away I collected them and this is only a small part of what I found. My progression of neverending fabric scraps

Following on from this post https://www.priganart.com/post/do-what-feels-right I have been working on my production line according to plan. Such a lot of inspiration. Last week I worked in greens created a wave landscape piece for the exhibition and of course had lots of scraps left over.
