I haven't actually cut into the blue piece yet. I made paper copies of the sewn piece. That way, I could cut up the paper copies and "play" with them instead of cutting up the sewn piece. Here are two pictures of my design wall. Right now, I'm playing the "what if" game. If you'd like to see more detail about the process, you can check it out on my blog here.
In this picture, I have pinned blue paper pieces to the orange sewn piece. I have pinned bias strips (in dark navy) over the paper pieces. I thought the piece at the bottom looks a bit heavy, sooo...
I made the change below.
very cool and organic looking
ReplyDeleteThis is great! I like the change. I like the way you are taking Kathy's technique and making it your own.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I would add a piece on the upper right. The line gives a 'way out' of the tangle of cages. So to speak.

I like the 2nd piece just the way you have it.
ReplyDeleteYour designs look pleasing and "finished." I like the little bit of openness in upper right. Nice use of Kathy's technique.

What do I know. I like the second one the best. Have you considered using thinner black lines??????
ReplyDeleteThanks to you original interview, I've been playing around with this technique as well. Haven't posted yet but will shortly.
Love your blog and your work!
What a great way to work out a design, using paper copies. I also like the second one just the way it is.
ReplyDeleteAdding a piece to the upper right isn't really necessary. It's terrific as is.
ReplyDeleteI like the second piece as it is. It has a very pleasing organic look to it.
