Top Stitch
The last couple days I’ve been back to my most current textile art piece. I’ve finished the top stitching on the background. The top layer is comprised of torn jacquard and shantung silk, neither of which are incredibly sturdy, but by adding the natural batting layer and top stitching (machine quilting) all layers to a canvas back this piece is now strong enough to support the subject. I’ll be starting on those sculptural components in the next few days…as soon as I figure out how best to create them:) I don’t work out everything 100% before I start. Many things are figured out as I go – that’s half the fun!
Hasta pronto mis amigos!
