Top* is where I am, bottom is where I was Saturday, at the end of a fabric + collage workshop with Maya Schonenberger. The idea is to collage a landscape. When I got home, I wanted to change what I'd done. So I closed the door, put on Hawai'ian music, and ...
1. First you make a base. Mine is burlap, cotton, felt, silk, packing material, magazine pages, & a little paint. Saturday I had a violet sky. Now it's black.
2. Glue all those pieces onto (19" x 19") plain white cotton.
3. Next, stitch it down.
4. Then layer with lava, smoke & fire.
I feel like a little god, making things.
*The pink is my tablecloth.

It changed when I got home. Last night I sewed these pieces down, with some puckering. Maya said puckers are good. Now to add the fun stuff!
