When in doubt, I turn to faces or trees, sometimes at the same time. I wanted to use a soft sheer on top of the busy fabric I chose but also wanted it to have some kind of image.
My son who draws incredibly well, did a number of faces I turned into silk screens.I like how subtle it is and it even tones the blue down. this might work.
I added a little bit of writing to the bottom layer
and decided that a narrow band of black might work well to divide the fabric.
The yellow fabric on the side was discharged with an image of writing.
I then matted it in mat board with an 8 1/2 x 11 opening. I still have lots of scraps left though!
What a great piece!!! So subtle but expressive for sure!!!
