Textile art involves using textile materials as the main medium, including fiber art, knitwear, woven fabric, and embroidery.
The process of creating textile art may include hand stitching, machine work, or even using glue.
Engaging in textile art requires a sense of touch and sight, as well as creativity and emotional input.
The benefits of crafting, whether in textile arts, quilting, journaling, embroidery, mixed media, or scrapbooking, are significant.
The goal of this store is to highlight the advantages of hands-on art creation. While I work on projects when time permits, my true passion lies in experimenting with textures, colors, and designs to create packs for customers. The time spent on sourcing materials, especially given the scarcity of local craft suppliers, often hampers the creative process. The kits offered in this store cover a range of activities from journaling and slow stitching to textile arts suitable for crazy quilting.
An exclusive line available in the Store features my art digitally printed on cotton. Utilizing a feature image can serve as inspiration for developing a textile art project, providing color, texture, and theme.
Here are photos of a recent project I worked on, illustrating the steps involved.
It begins with selecting a base cotton and arranging the Fabric Art, followed by creating a frame
using Laces and Doily Pieces. Spend some time to determine the right combination and placement to effectively cover and frame the featured print.
Also I find a layer of Pelon at the back does help with stitching down laces and embellishments, giving a softer finish and helping hide the stitching.
The Guipure Laces Hand Painted in complimentary colours have added to the effect. In this instance the panel has been added to an I pad pouch, using a corner of the doily to cover the
pouch seal.
