So, here's that gray collage! I have been working up to doing it, but paving the way with a couple of smaller pieces. This one is sort of a medium large size - about 50" wide. The fabrics are all hand painted with Setacolor transparent fabric paints. I put fusible web (Mistyfuse) on the back of all these fabrics and they are fused to the batting. This makes a good smooth surface for printing. The printing will be coming up next!
I just have to say - this working without color is a bit of a stretch for me. I just don't do gray. This is a first!
I've been watching the "greys" with interest (since it would be quite a stretch for me, as well!). I like how it's going so far. I really like what you've done with Starry Nights, and look forward to the on-going process. So interesting!
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking of working with grays for awhile, and know it will be hard not to add color in somewhere! But as I look at your photo, the lights and darks, as well as the variations of the grays, do show color, just very subtly. I think this piece will be very dramatic and striking if it comes out the way your other recent pieces did.
