The darker lines on the deconstructed print do remind me somewhat of tree branches. This Thermofax screen is converted from my photo of our chokecherry bushes in winter. I like it better in the vertical position. (below).

Adding Printed Organza
I am not sure what to do with this - I've added a line of screen printed text - I believe this is Blackfoot writing. I got it on there a little wonky, so that doesn't help things much. I decide to audition a strip of Thermofax screen printed silk organza placed across it, but this does nothing for me (I am really kind of bothered by the pink circle near the top - where I accidentally left a ring of dye during the printing process.
I eventually realize the bushes look better right side up - and I feel this brings out the branch like composition on the deconstructed print. I finally start to feel a little hope for this piece. (notice I was able to make the annoying pink circle disappear, also!)
You're getting there! I think there is definitely hope for this piece!
ReplyDeleteI like the second piece. The first one needed something to integrate the elements, and by flipping the image that did it--for me, anyway. The third one seems a bit choppy and makes my eye jump. I was thinking that in your post today the quilting would help matters in that it too would bring the disparate elements together. I actually saw it before I saw this (11/15). --Sue in MA
