I wanted to make a new fabric mixed media collage . Thinking about it for sometime actually.
I dyed a tea towel using green tea. Tea made the towel look old and used. I used the towel for wiping off excess paint from previous projects too.
Looking on it, I decided to do some hand sewing.
I cut the tea towel to make a smaller size. There was a length of ribbon which I bought from my last trip to South India. With my Singer sewing machine,(which is a very basic one) attached the ribbon to frame the work. I tried few lines of different stitch patterns.
Can you see the blue paint got outlined with stitches? Those are just running stitch.
There is this denim butterfly I made and embellished a few days before.
It was a lot of fun to add the beads and sequins on the dark blue fabric.
Now stitched the butterfly on to the background and made a few loops for hanging.
That beaded embellishment is from a vintage costume necklace. That is also hand sewn to the fabric.
It is ready to go on my wall.
What kind of feelings/thoughts come to your mind when looking on this one?
