I always create challenges for myself. When I completed the 4 seasons series I had many scrap pieces left over. I wanted to make one piece with merging all the 4 seasons flowing through each other using only the scraps left over. The palette was limited so the first thing I did was to sort the fabrics into the seasons.

After spending a few weeks on these pieces the series is completed. This was a challenging project as I limited myself to using only what I could find in the scrap box. This box is made up of all the remnants that accumulate during the week. I put offcuts in there and the students put all their random pieces in there too. I began by going to the scrap box and pulling out all the pieces that I could find in a division of the four seasons.

Working on the 4 seasons series using only pieces from the scrap box was challenging. Winter was the final one in the series. All the seasons have all the colors, as they do in nature, but in different depths of color. I took out all the colors that had a flat, grey overlay for that winter feeling.

The students finished their wave landscape patchworks

have been working quite diligently to prepare the pieces for my 50 piece exhibition of the Wave Landscape Patchwork Technique. Of course my students have seen my works and they know that I am nearing completion. 2 weeks ago they came to me together and told me that they had decided to each create a piece and would I allow them to participate. Of course my answer was yes, in fact if I had known that they wanted to participate I would have let them make many more pieces.

While working on my #45 wave landscape patchwork piece I looke at the fabrics and saw that I had a bunch of strips and wondered how many versions I could create today.

I have been thinking about writing this post for a while now. I can look at a product and after a few minutes I manage to analyze how it was

This morning a friend on facebook asked in a post what our obessions are. I was just thinking about that! Standing with a cup of coffee in my studio and looking at all the things that I have created this week. Making new fabric from scraps is what I would call my obsessions. It is the technique that I connect with the most.

This is part 2 of creating art with remnants. When sorting my fabrics I sort according to color first and then size the piles according to longer wider strips, rectangles, squares, odd shaped pieces, circles and last of all the very narrow strips.
