"I begin with an idea and then it becomes something else." ~ Picasso
Earlier this week, I posted the first exercise of my class. Today's photo is the mock-up, in fabric , of the piece...in progress. In this photo, the rectangular blocks are just pinned onto the background. Eventually, I will "piece" them in - that is, insert them into the background fabric. And then, add either black cording around the perimeter of the individual blocks or a moss green variegated #8 Perle cotton ...I am leaning toward the Perle cotton. One of the challenges I've had was to add green - not a fave.color in my palette...but as I sit here, looking at the view outside and at my PiP (project in progress ), I can "live with the green."
Clearly, the "in process" of the final piece only has a slight resemblance to my paper beginnings ... but I'm liking it, so far.
To be continued...
Cheers~
