I then water-colored the line drawing:
I blew up the black ink line drawing and traced it onto white fabric, using a Micron Pigma Pen, then painted it with ProChemical & Dye transparent textile paint:
And then I stitched with black thread:
I do a lot of crosshatching in my sketches, and it was interesting, and more challenging, to do it in thread:
I had a lot of fun with this, and I rather like this more graphic, sketchy, loose style. It is not as realistic as most of my work, but it is fun. And certainly faster. I am looking forward to using more of my sketches in my textile art!

That's gorgeous, Susan! And thank you so much for explaining your journey from beginning to end.
ReplyDeleteLove it!
I really like how this came out and I think it is fun to do art pieces and experiment with color and threads.

Wow, love it. The colors are so vibrant and I really like the cross-hatching.
ReplyDeleteI believe I like this even better than the more realistic pieces. (But then I don't often get accused of being a realist!)
ReplyDeleteVery nice. Really enjoyed our workshop last month in Winston-Salem. Looking forward to the new season of QA in July.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting piece and it looks like it was somewhat of a challenge.
