More Portraits and Flowers

Here are some more of the portraits and flower drawings my Mark Making With Machine students did last week.
Each drawing is full of character -both the sitter and the sewer's personality comes through the quality of the marks made.

Strip Piecing Project

My Mark Making With Machine class at Victoria College of Art had a great showing of their work in the studio this week.
The project was to use their dyed and printed fabrics to make a ground in their own colour palette.

It was called, 'The Project of One Thousand Decisions' because every step of the way they had to stop and make a conscious decision about how they would proceed.

It was so interesting to see how each textile was so different and reflected each owner's style when working with textile and stitch.

It was a rewarding project when class members were able to learn from others' results as well as their own.
