Here's my dried, glue-treated muslin. This is about a yard and a half, all nice and crunchy! |

After chopping off a hunk of the muslin, I laid it out to contemplate just what I wanted to do with it. At the right are my strips of white tissue paper and a container of the diluted PVA glue. |
In this next step I'm applying tissue strips to add more body to the piece as well as more texture. These I glued randomly, adding wrinkly texture as I went. |

More on this piece to come!
I am slowly getting it, thank you for the pictures! Look forward to the next tep!
ReplyDeleteI got the tree trunk thing with the one I'm working on -- but the second layer didn't stick well. I'll be adding some machine stitching too. It's amazing how different yours looks -- like ghost trees!
ReplyDeleteI just stumbled onto your site via Quiltart Digest. The glued muslin technique is pretty interesting. Your seeing trees is fantastic and I look forward to seeing its progress.!
