This week I have been on an interesting course at City Lit
in London which involved ideas for monoprinting on paper and fabric and
non-traditional applique with hand stitch. In preparation for the three day
course we were asked to take along some objects or images to act as
inspiration. I thought I would go for something prosaic and easily at hand, but
with scope to lead to other ideas and interpretation, so my theme is ‘On the
Shelf’; an expression which used to mean that you were long past it, and had no
chance of the ultimate goal i.e. marriage and babies, I suppose the equivalent
nowadays would be ‘past the use by date’. It probably doesn’t really have an
equivalent as goals have changed and certainly age perimeters have done. At the
moment I am simply taking it as what you find on a typical shelf in the average
home, and probably never give a second glance to.
I took some photographs around my home and then manipulated
them on the ipad with a number of apps..
Fabric applique like patterns can be built up using the iColorama app..
