Finally, I've decided to cut up this Hoffman printed fabric panel that's been hanging in my closet for longer than I care to estimate.
The upper sky is a bit over the top (no pun intended), but I might use it or parts of it in another project. The beach at bottom is a fairly "muddy" looking piece and may never be used at all.
I've always wanted to make one of those 3-window-view landscapes, and I love arches, so off to the drawing table...
...and then, let the real mess begin! Pressing, fusing and cutting...

What a great idea! I am looking forward to seeing what you do next with this. I wonder (and have absolutely NO basis in experience for this) if the piece of over-the-top sky could be muted with white/ivory paint...watered down and used like a wash over top?
ReplyDeleteI hadn't thought of that, thank you! And on that note, it also might work to put a layer of white tulle over it. I've had success with that in a couple of quilts, and completely forgot about it. Thank you, now I won't have to waste it!
DeleteOMG! I take a few weeks off and miss your latest post. Let me say that I so enjoy seeing how your mind works and the outstanding results each time. Two thumbs up.....looking great!!!
ReplyDeleteRhonda, thank you, you can tell I'm having fun with this, getting to draw AND piece. That panel has been in the closet about 4 years, and it just recently occurred to me that I could cut it up! I wish my mind would work a little faster than that, but I guess better late than never! LOL
DeleteWhere are you? 'Been looking for your 2019 posts...am so sad not to see any. I was one who only found you recently and began reading every darn one of your posts starting at the very beginning, finishing all the way to the end! Learned so much. I hope you and your family are well and that you'll be able to come back to us soon. :)
ReplyDeleteHello, and thank you so much! Strangely enough, I found your comment just a few hours after adding a new blog post here. I hope you'll check it out. Yes, this is the longest absence I've ever had, though thankfully not for any serious issues. Thanks for your concern. I hope to post more regularly for the rest of the year.
