To begin a Found piece of fabric that Debby acquired .What will it become inspiration for new work or incorporated into pieces .It looked as if it might be meant to sit above a door or window opening and has a range of colours and motifs that might be used to start off a train of thought .
As a member of Quilters Guild she , like other members , are sometimes given challenges to fulfil .This time it was to create a postcard sized piece based around a scrap of fabric produced by Shute Lane .She made two both with owls and feather . She wanted to create her own not just relying on the given
fabric .She used Inktense wet with tea .We loved them especially the sparkling edge giving a lovely glint in the light .A lovely touch to the edge of beads and a cord.
She fills a book each year with all sorts of drawings , sayings , media and ideas .This year she is using Artists Almanac who provide prompts for each day . They are meant to be a springboard or not, to develop and explore .It is such a good habit providing a resource to flick back through .Maybe something we should all tap into .
