"Simple Blessings is an almost all fabric piece and it is one of three in a 'sacred cloth' series. I used digital prints on silk and added copper leaf to the small tabs on top. The two panels on either side are made of paper napkins softened to cloth using olive oil in the momigami method and then rows of machine stitching was added on top.
I'll enjoy today traveling about seeing yellow everywhere!
Mary Ann, I don't know what momigami is, but it sure looks yummy. I would never have believed those 2 sections are made of napkins. As the top piece being bright, that's exactly what I love about it - the colors remind me of a tropical fruit salad! Looking at my comments, I'm thinking I must be hungry...
ReplyDeleteSharmon, You had me laughing with your yummy comments ... hope you took time out for a snack! The momigami method is quirky using a kneading and folding method with oil ... not always reliable turning paper into cloth!
DeleteHi Mary Ann. Happy first day of spring!
ReplyDeleteCarole, Today was the most perfect spring day ... the waves, beach and sky gave me an all day smile ... even though we are in a drought and really should be doing rain dances. Happy Spring to you too!
DeleteBeautiful work as always, Mary Ann!
ReplyDeleteConnie, Thank you for the good words ... I will try to remember these words when studio work goes hopeless and dull!
DeleteWow...love these! Thanks for talking about some of the process. Thanks also for playing Roy this month.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by ... I'm enjoying this Roy G Biv day but I'm already worried about G as green is not an easy color for me...I have weeks to find green!
DeleteHow wonderful! Thanks for joining in the fun again this month.
ReplyDeleteJennifer, I've been looking forward to finding yellow for days ... fun to make the connection with others!
DeleteSuch warm works of art. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteJill, Thank you, my pleasure! I have a copy of all the dates set aside for a reminder!!
DeleteWhat lovely examples of yellow! And even better that they are handmade...
ReplyDeleteArzigogolare, Thank you! I began working with fabric for a little over a year and it has been quite a journey ... art making by stitching a true challenge!
DeleteI especially love that first piece! Great yellows, even if you were hungry. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking lemon strawberry sherbet? Thank you for stopping by!
DeleteMomigami was new to me too - and what a lovely bright, spring-like introduction!
