inspirational fibers
I’m finally finished teaching art camps for the summer and that means I can get back into my studio and start making things!
Here’s my palette for my next machine-embroidered piece of fiber art:
That’s so yummy I think I could eat it with a spoon :-) I’ve got sari silk ends, raw mohair, carded mohair (from a farm just down the road from me) silk caps and silk roving.
I love the different textures and hands that you get from using different types of fibers in one piece. The silk acts differently from the mohair, which has a different shine than the raw mohair does… and then there’s the sari silk…
Next time you’re planning a piece of fiber art, try something different that you haven’t tried before. You might be surprised at the results you get :-)
