My latest project involves creating textile art and mounting it on 8" x 8" canvases. I decided to awaken my dormant blog to use it as a record of the finished canvases, and a reminder of the techniques involved. I'm planning on a weekly blog.
PROJECT: Create 88 - 8" x 8" Canvases
PARAMETERS: Fiber Art (including textiles, fabrics, gauze, cheesecloth, yarn, thread, embroidery floss, wool roving, and paper), mounted on 8" x 8" canvases.
GOAL: Create hardcover book, showcasing this art.

| #1 - 8" x 8" canvas |
For this canvas, I used lace I'd cut from a thrift store blouse for the background. The flower is from another blouse. The color comes from acrylic inks, mostly sepia, with some gold to highlight the flower.

| #2 - 8" x 8" canvas |
This mini-quilt is attached to the canvas using matte medium. You can see the blanket stitch around the outer edge of the quilt. I used crepe de chine and silk fabrics, which I colored with acrylic inks. The tree is free-motion machine stitching. Acrylic paint covers the edges of the canvas.

| #3 - 8" x 8" canvas - Detail |
This beach scene involves fabrics directly glued to the canvas, using matte medium. The fabrics are cotton, silk, cheese cloth (the water), and gauze (the sea foam).
Till next week...
