While I was working, I was thinking about all the things I could do next. Several months ago I was experimenting with weaving things, like wood-grained wallpaper samples.
About a year ago, I learned that quite a few of my ancestors had worked in the textile industry in the 1800s. I've always been intrigued by textiles, and learned about fabric art (LOVE IT!!!) a few years ago. I'll definitely be doing some more of that soon. I can carry on the family tradition. :0)
And I'm not one to throw things away, so I have stacks of muslin scraps which I use to clean my brushes when I'm painting.
Believe me, I had to restrain myself from putting more paint on that top piece of muslin!
:0)
I wash and iron them when I have enough of them. Some look like little abstract pieces of art to me already, and in others, I see images I can add to with other materials.
These days, I'm drooling over the work of Flora Bowley. You can see why at her website (here) and blog (here).
