i am a bit awed at being part of this group - so full of people whose work i admire and find incredibly inspiring. i have been making art textiles/quilts for about 5 years and am really moving away from the 'quilt' aspect to more freeform layered pieces. my blog is textileseahorse and has been rather neglected over the last few months as i reassemble my life after a marriage disintegration, resigning from my job, meeting my new partner and moving house.
the timing for this challenge is fabulous for me - i am really moving from a time of shadow and low creativity back into the light.
playing around with some ideas around light and shadow, i made this piece this afternoon. i am interested in the play of light over textures and in manipulating fabrics in different weights to distort and disconcert.

Hello Lisette, Lovely to see you here, and so glad you could make it. Looking forward to seeing how this turns out.
Most interesting, Lisette. Is this using the rusting tecnique on the fabric as I love the colour!
Oooh this looks intriguing - wonder what will happen next?
elma - that rusty look is the result of some over-zealous burning with the heat tool. so i made a virtue of necessity and kept on burning!
So happy you are a companion on this journey xxx
