Stephanie @spontaneousthreads got to choose our Bee Sewcial @beesewcial prompt this month, and she chose Clouds. Actually, compositions that include clouds. We were asked to choose one of four photos that Stephanie took that included clouds. I chose one of the front range of the Rocky Mountains at sunset.
From our chosen photo, we were to select a vertical strip, top to bottom, to be the inspiration for our pieced strip, approximately 8" x 40".
A bit of a challenge, right? I kept my photo close by as I began to compose my composition in fabric.
Honestly, it took me bits of time over several days to complete my entire strip. It was hard to keep everything totally 'straight,' and my strip finally felt done at 9"-13" wide and roughly 48" long.
It was fun to see this come together on Instagram. It's a really fun prompt and I love seeing the relationship between photo and sewn piece.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that amazing!! Thanks for sharing the composition challenge and the process.
ReplyDeleteGreat rendition.
Well that's quite a challenge. I don't know how each of you comes up with your creative ideas, like this lovely sunset. When I look at Stephanie's photo, I can visualize it as a diamond painting. But in fabric? That's more difficult. However, you've rendered it beautifully. I like your piece and I'm sure Stephanie will too.
