Jenn printed one of her drawings onto cotton for her ‘Red’ interpretation but didn’t get around to adding any stitch.
She was trying to work out how she might use her fish prints on cotton to create a larger piece.The problem was her printer only prints to A4. Joining them left a harsh line of stitching ,so she thought about piecing them like Bojagi.
Then she tried using a cording foot and stitching curved lines to mimic water.The jury is still out !She was disappointed that Prinfab www.prinfab.com no longer offered organza as one of their fabrics.She may try Contrado www.contrado.co.uk.
After taking an online workshop with Kate Semple www.katesemple.co. uk making card jugs Jenn had used the idea to make an oval dish. She had the song ‘When the boat comes in ‘ playing in her head.
Tetrapak prints of Mackerel sit on it .She has plans to create a matching piece which is in the early stages of production.It may happen or not .
She had found a frame ,with three apertures ,locally and was trying out more tetrapak prints.These had included’chine colle ‘,she thought she might get another frame and do some more .
