I kept on sewing [jacarandá]. I decided to use pale lilac for the background and trying to make some contrast with dark blue and white. But I am completely lost at the moment with it, looking for a composition that works for me. Here I show you two of the attempts, but I made some more. And I still haven't found what I want to do. Despite the sketches. I had an idea that worked perfectly when drawn, but no when sewed.
The worst is that every attempt takes along time to be done, because I have to place scale by scale... I hope I find a solution soon.

He seguido cosiendo [jacarandá]. Decidí usar el lila pálido para el fondo y probar a contrastar con azul marino o con blanco. Pero por el momento estoy absolutamente perdida co ella, intentando encontrar una composición que funcione. Aquí os enseño un par de los intentos que he hecho, entre otros tantos. Y todavía no he encontrado lo que quiero hacer. A pesar de los bocetos. Tenía una idea que quedaba bien en los dibujos, pero no sobre la tela.
Lo peor es que cada nueva prueba me lleva mucho tiempo hacerla, porque tengo que colocar escama a escama... Espero encontrar pronto una solución.
Today I liked these Little Gem Quilts from Cathy Corbishley, that remind me of cyanotype.

Hoy me han gustado estos Little Gem Quilts de Cathy Corbishley, que me recuerdan a la cianotipia.
Pues a mí me parece estupendo. El azul marino queda genial y el blanco es lo que, en principio, me rompía un poco con el lila claro, pero la verdad es que la composición te está quedando fantástica -menudo currazo!-. Parece la cola de una sirena, con lo que molan las sirenas. :)
ReplyDeleteNo sé, no sé, las escamas me gustan, pero no consigo encontrarles su lugar... Ya lo he deshecho otra vez...
DeleteI really like the contrast, it's a beautiful piece. I'm trying to be slower myself, and take my time in making decisions on pieces I'm doing. It's always hard though, because I like to have things right first time!
ReplyDeleteWell, some pieces come at the first attempt and some don't. I like the process of looking for something still haven't found. When I reach it, it is wonderful! But it is also satisfying to make a work easily from the first idea.
DeleteAnyway, it is good to educate patience, isn't it?
This piece holds great promise. The texture itself is interesting, and begs for touching. Maybe there doesn't need to be a border - yet - maybe just wait and continue with the texture part, and what you need to do next colour wise or whatever, will arrive as your hands do the thinking.

I know that something is not working well because I AM TRYING TO FORCE IT. Now I know it. I don't usually work this way, but this time I want it. Maybe it is a challenge, maybe it is a mistake. Anyway, at the moment and thanks to your comment, I have decided to make two different works.
DeleteThanks Judy!
Me encanta con azul.... que puedo decir yo?
ReplyDeletePara que veas que te hice caso...
