and materials: “Safety of the Toadstools” was machine stitched on Water soluble
using multiple types of threads.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After
washing the soluble away, the piece was stitched on to black cotton fabric and
some hand stitching was added.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The piece
was then stretched onto artist painting canvas. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is based on a drawing in my daily drawing
journal.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Statement<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 107%;">“Safety of
the Toadstools” was part of a daily drawing series that I worked on during lockdown.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was drawing a series of whimsical worlds,
focusing on healing thoughts. I am a believer that where your mind focuses will
project onto your day, so drawings are a daily affirmation meditation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thread-painting this piece was a way
continuing this positive meditation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
added the fun exercise of working with color blending of complimentary colors
to help make colors pop more and create form.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I researched the pointillist paintings to gain additional inspiration.</span><o:p></o:p></p><br /><p></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><table border=0>

Here are two Seminole piecing samples. This was two different piecing patterns. For sample two, I thought about piecing the strips straight together. it would create a great pattern. Instead I pieced it with a strip of black between and had the seam on the right side of the sample. In the alligator pattern, you can see black intentions to delineate the pattern.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><table border=0>

The log cabin pattern was one of my go-to patterns to make for gifts about 20 years ago! This is a completely different color scheme as well as purpose. It really does have some interesting possibility.</div>

This is another quilt that I made years ago. It is called a pineapple quilt which is a variation of a log cabin quilt. Traditional log cabin quilts are probably one of the easiest and fastest quilt to make and is a great way to learn strip piecing. This pineapple quilt was done using paper foundation method.</div>

This is an old quilt that I finished years ago. It is a good example of strip piecing such as in this chapter. The black and white version does resemble reptile markings.<br />

I decided to also try a few on black fabric with golden's zinc white with Golden's GAC 900 fabric medium. I used an old credit card and a sponge brush to create these. On the top right and bottom right, I covered the whole piece of glass with paint and scraped out areas for negative painting. The piece on the bottom left was my clean up cloth.</div>

These are my twelve shibori samples. I really like them for the most part. One main problem was that the black turned out to a middle to dark grey-green instead of black. I have dyed a lot in the past, but I have never done it in the winter. I usually do it outside in the sun and here in the Southeastern U.S. it is always warm in the summer. I usually dye it and then cover it with saran wrap and leave it outside for several hours. Last weekend while do these, it was very cold and I left them outside in the garage overnight. Despite using extra black dye as well as buying fresh dye to use, it didn't quite darken enough. If we have a warm spell, I might try and do some more. I think this will get me started on the next few chapters.</div>

These are my shibori pieces ready to dye. I did several standard tie dye method with many rubber bands to make an over circular pattern as well a folded square with a bulldog clip. I also just scrunched a piece and tied it up with rubber bands. I also folded a piece of fabric in a square and rubber banded it and then folded another in a triangle and rubber banded the tips.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also tried several using the tritik shibori method. I accordion folded fabric and hand stitched it ever half inch to an inch and created pleated materials. I also accordion folded another piece of fabric and then machine stitched down the center. I also tried to machine stitch a pattern to see what that would do.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I tried to arashi shibori methods. I did now on a fat pvc pipe and used rubber bands to scrunch the fabric together. I also used a dowel and rubber bands.</div>

Monoprinting was fun. You can see some of the ghost prints turned out line too. After the first pull, I spread the glass with water for the second pull. You can see on the bottom, second from the left the difference to the original immediately to the left. On some of them I decided to use fabric for the second pull. I will include those in the examples for the next class. I used printing ink for silk screening and Golden's Carbon Black fluid acrylic paint. I also thought that I needed a few that would be darker so using a black paper, used golden's Zinc white to print. I wanted to make sure that I had a full array of tones.</div>

Lesson one: bleach loses its strength over time. I started with one bottle and NOTHING happened. I then found a second bottle in another closet and only got a ghost of a pattern. This is the one in the upper left side and bottom right side. I went to the store and bought a new small bottle of bleach. Once again, i used cut up cardboard. On the one, bottom row, second from the right and top row far left, I used the end of a gift wrap tube cut. it curled in and created a great pattern.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><table border=0>

These were done on printer paper. Most were done using a cardboard box that I cut up in different shapes. I tried to use the drawings that I did to "interpret" the animal patterns. What I began to notice is that with each set, the designs got more stylized.</div>

With the alligator, I found lots of interesting different types of patterns. His tail was very interesting and I used it for both the hand drawn pattern as well as artistic filtered patterns. I also thought that on his neck was some interesting patterns.<br />

I am trying to relearn photoshop. When I was in art school we had to learn it but that was soooo long ago that the new version seems completely new (and improved). I thought that I would really enjoy making new patterns on the computer, but I found that I much preferred doing it by hand with pen/brush and ink.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><table border=0>

A and B were the original stitch layer (see previous post).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A.1) Went over scallop stitch with uniformly formed zigzag stitch to create a linear pattern.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
B.1) Went over the gathering stitch with the triple straight stitch; it didn't add a lot of interest but could for another pattern perhaps.</div>

As this was still a general experimental exercise, I used the base and created different variations.<br />
<br />
A) working with the honeycomb base, I added some additional rows to create a darker tone and then a connecting line.<br />
A.1 and A.2) Crisscrossed the line to create possible snake skin pattern<br />
B, B.1, and B.2) Running Stitch base with Stitch #6 over it; not very interesting, but I did do a few more rows under it.<br />
C) Stitch #6, then dropped the feed dogs, whip stitch<br />
C.1) Stitch #6, then dropped the feed dogs, heavier whip stitch, and freeform zigzag in one row, connected<br />
C.2) Stitch #6, then dropped the feed dogs, whip stitch, connected freeform zigzag to create spots in center; played with denser, and then gradually lighter stitching toward the right.<br />

- I really wanted to use a hoop to insure that I could control the large piece of fabric and stabilizer, but it accommodate the length, I had to use the X-large hoop; I quickly learned that it was hard to control the stitches as I was almost a foot and a half away from machine when I reached the end of the row and I still couldn't turn the piece easily and therefore had to use "reverse" on the machine. It was hard to stitch a straight line. (HINT: use a water soluable marker to to create line guides) Also, in the future, don't use hoop but a instead a good stabilizer, either felt, washaway, or thicker paper.<br />
<br />
A) Scallop, only changed width at end<br />
B) Gathering stitch #7, changed stitch length and went over a few areas to create tone.<br />
C) Honeycomb stitch; wasn't great at keepingit straight, I decided to accentuate the shift.<br />
D) Running Stitch; I didn't change the stitch length until the last two passes; reverse stitched rows were completely different look.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><table border=0>

I had a few hiccups when I started doing my cable stitches! In the past, I have done lots of bobbin work (especially with Ricky Tims sparkly thread) so was frustrated with the mistakes. After I "got it", I remembered how much I love this effect.<br />
<br />
A) Straight stitch with Pearl cotton #5 hand wound in bobbin; It came out great, except I had stabilizer on the bottom which is where the cabling appeared.<br />
B) Gathering stitch but stitch length increased, no stabilizer; bobbin tension is off slightly, but I like it; would like it better with stabilizer to control puckering.<br />
C) Bottom part: tried repeating A, but the machine "ate" it! Came back later and used a thin but long zigzag stitch. I really like it even though the bobbin tension is too loose, but I take it as a happy accident.<br />
D) This one was just for fun. I had to drop the feed dogs for a few minutes at least! It would be a very easy way to build tonal variation like this. I also wanted to see what it would look like when repetitively going over the lines and seeing the buildup.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><table border=0>
