10a - A mixed paper and fabric chenille sample I made at Summer School
NB – I was back in Portugal for this Chapter so the samples are machine stitched
10b - A chenille sample with several layers of fabric. Some layers do no extend over the whole background. I like this sample, it has ‘frothy’ look.
10c - A line drawing for the chenille sample below.
10d – the back of the sample showing the stitching. (The fabric is a ‘by product’ of my fabric printing/dying. I always put old sheeting under my printing/dying and end up with a surprise fabric.)
10b - chenille sample for the above design. There are four layers of fabric, a cotton background, a bronze organza, a turquoise cotton and a loose weave tweedy fabric. The turquoise cotton did not fray as well as the other fabrics but overall I feel the sample works.
I am skipping the melting section of this Chapter for Health and Safety reasons. I am not happy with the idea of using a soldering iron in my work space within the enclosed awning area of our mobile home. I do not even use decorative candles in this space.
