Debby had produced this print with Sue Brown and used it to create printed lengths of fabric.She decided she would create a quilted hanging from this one .The fabric she has used for the edge makes a lovely foil especially with the accents of colour on the top right .She found just the right match in a charity shop.She will add accents of metallic to highlight areas such as the beetle.
She had sourced Konjac Gum powder for laminating paper and strengthening them for for momigami
She had also been experimenting with using a laser cut garden ornament to create a rust print .To make it safer to handle she had used tea to dye with .Tea binds with the rust and neutralises the iron oxide.
She also came across some Cyanotype prints she had set aside and is thinking how they might be used.
Another piece she had found was a favourite transfer paint piece.She had made a start on some stitching but intends to go back and add more .
While on holiday in Chichester she found this in a charity shop .It ties around the shoulders like a cape but is a polyester fabric.She bought it for inspiration and had some interesting facts about butterflies and moths.Butterflies navigate by the sun while moths do it by the moon and stars ,hence their diurnal and nocturnal habits .
