Jeanette's New Project

As you may know Jeanette has made and finished some amazing

textile pieces such as 'Leaves' and 'Bolliwood',

she is now started making a decorative box made

with the a new selection of fabrics and trimmings.

Everyone was eager to see what colour she had chosen

and when she revealed her new colour was a beautiful lime

green it got everyone talking.

Jeanette working in mixed media

This week @The Gallery, Jeanette started using the

soldering iron on the edges of her Leaves Wall Hanging.

It is starting to take on a 3D effect but needs

a focus of interest.

Nearly there but not quite!

Jeanette is building up her picture with the mixed media

textile leaves now.

You sometimes get to a stage where you can't see where

a piece is going or how to move it on.

When she un wrapped it there was a wow! from those

in the Gallery but Jeanette wasn't happy with how the piece

looked. We analysed it and it was too flat.

and needed a focus.

Yes, it looked like falling leaves but it needed a focal point

and lift. Jeanette and I spent a few hours

working out focal areas and making the piece 3D.

Jeanette makes fantastic 3D textile artworks.

her most recent, "Bolliwood", was entered into an art show

and was well received.

Keep persevering Jeanette it is working!

Machine Embroidered Leaves

Jeanette is machine stitching the mixed media background

for the leaves to be attached to and making lots more leaves and

cords to embellish with.

There are so many techniques that Jeanette has used

on this mixed media wallhanging so far.

Machine Embroidered Leaves

Jeanette's new mixed media textile work is based on Autumn Leaves and

is inspired by a community wallhanging picture she saw in a magazine.

She wants to learn many different ways of making leaves and

Next week is printing and painting the background

fabric to the work and designing more foliage.

Machine Embroidered Leaves

Jeannette is starting a new project, a wall hanging

containing all different mixed media layered leaves.

There are many different techniques she wants to learn

and improve on ones that she has touched on in the past.

Here are some of the ones she made in her session.

The sessions @ The Gallery are approximately

2, 2 and a half hours long and some stay all day!

Paper and Stitch Leaves

This morning I played on my sewing machine, using

some of my made paper.

Every Summer I make a batch of dyed fabric and made papers.

These, then keep me inspired and stocked

most of the Winter.

Here, I used my Autumn Sketchbook as inspiration.

The paper when stitch goes like leather.

You can use a good quality watercolour paper

and colour it with dye or paint to get a

similar effect.

Make sure you use a new needle in your machine.
