Having explored the poppy seedhead motif in my sketchbook, I decided it would translate well into stitch using layers of sheer fabrics.
So I decided to try it out by making a book jacket for my sketchbook.
As well as the red and blue sheer fabrics I used a sparkly type of iron-on transfer material* that I've been trying out for
Angela
I confess I wasn't too excited by the glittery sparkly stuff when I first tried it but I think it works quite well here layered up under some black chiffon and I quite like it.
I also confess that the colour scheme was largely dictated by the materials I had to hand but I actually quite like that too.
And I feel encouraged to experiment a bit more with these shapes
And possibly even the sparkly stuff!
I might remove the book jacket until I've finished working in my sketchbook though as knowing me it will be covered in paint in no time.
