I have been going for a textile art course. Here are some of the samples of my work. They are not great in any way. I am one of those people who can never get going in classes, but I did learn a lot and it has sent my mind into a spin for possible applications in my art. Sorry for the bad photography. Just thought it might interest some of you as to what I have been up to.

This one is fabric manipulated, heat treated, crushed and dyed.
This one is as you can see
angelina fibres bonded between fabrics
This is manipulated fabric, heat treated and foiled.

I can see how this could create fabulous textures for your doll's clothing. It looks like it must have been a fantastic class. Very freeing!
ReplyDeleteWow Shashi! You have been busy. Sounds like a very interesting class. I love what you can now do with cloth! Love the different effects and can't wait to see what you do with them next.

You know, Shashi, I think your dolls always have SUCH a wonderful feeling of motion, and these manipulated fabrics are going to lend themselves wonderfully to that! I can see them adding an extra element of not only BEAUTY, but fluidity to what you create! Great class! Marvelous samples of what you learned!
