The final person in our group was Christina and her piece was entitled ‘Plenty More In The Sea!’
Unlike my other contributors, Christina’s inspiration had come from a piece of glorious fabric first with the sea element second. That’s not a complaint, just my delight in the glimpses these books have given into other people’s creative processes.
It must have been fabulous too, by what you can see in the bodies of the fish.
Hand embroidery stitches to enhance the fish shapes and seeding and french knots to texture the background.
It’s really made me want to play with reverse appliqué a bit!
The show I’m currently directing – ‘Cheshire Cats’ – is in theatre next week so there should be time for sewing back stage even if the week is probably going to be crazily busy. Fingers crossed for enough audience for us to make a profit. Even a small one would be nice!
Good luck with the show!
What a treasure to have, this page is delightful and is pinging off ideas in my head for reverse applique and fancy fish. Am I allowed to say I hope the play goes well (theatre superstition and all that?)
Another lovely page! Have fun!
Yes, this collaborative book does give an insight into all the differing creative processes of the contributors!
It’s always interesting to see how a subject is interpreted by someone else. Hope all goes well with the new show!
I adore these darling little fishes. Here’s to a wonderful opening night.
