Jen was playing with strips of fabric one day...she allowed her Dad and I to help.
Fabric is put on two sided adhesive paper and ironed to adhere it. Then they are cut into strips...the other side of the backing is removed and it is put in place on special paper...when it is all done it is put on a canvas. I worked the blues on the right side while Far Guy stripped backing off of strips until his thumbs locked up. (I know from experience that this is painful...but we still had to laugh a bit)
I was only the consultant on the next piece.
Both pieces have gone to the shop in Grand Forks.
I can play with fabric as long as no sewing is involved!
Very beautiful! The top one is my favorite.
ReplyDeletebeautiful!
ReplyDeleteWow! What an interesting art project.
ReplyDeleteWow! Those are amazing! How beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI get the locking up of fingers too. Funny but not funny.
Those are so unique and beautiful. The flower makes me think of echinacea.
ReplyDeleteWow! Both are gorgeous!! What a fun collaboration that was too.
ReplyDeleteThis is so interesting...I've not heard of this before but I do love the way the material makes such a beautiful piece. A lot of work was put in to this and you all did a stunning job. Looks fun!
ReplyDeleteNow those are both some wonderful no-sewing fabric projects! :)
ReplyDeleteI really like the first one - it's very pretty! What an interesting concept.
ReplyDeleteIt seems you have a creative gene in your family. I like both of these a lot.
ReplyDeleteThese are both beautiful. I'm guessing that neither will last long in the shop. How fun to be able to do it together. Poor Far Guy. I can just imagine both of you laughing at the poor man.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

Beautiful pieces!
ReplyDeleteThat's an interesting way of creating a lovely piece!
ReplyDeleteMy wife is a mad quilter!
ReplyDeleteThose are both so beautiful! And you may have mentioned it before and I read about it too fast on a busy day - - but does Jen own the shop or she takes it somewhere to place on consignment sale?
ReplyDeleteTo a consignment shop
DeleteCatching up a bit on your blog. I have had company. What a beautiful way to use fabric! I have not seen this method before but what a beautiful result!
DeleteGoodnight Gram
What fun! You come up with some amazing creations, and pretty ones at that.
ReplyDeleteBoth projects are gorgeous, but I think the sunburst is my favorite. I never heard of this process, but it sure is a winner. imagesisee.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteThe first one looks like a very complicated piece.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun - except for the locked thumbs part!
ReplyDeleteOh that looks like a great way to play with fabric. The sewing is not my favorite part either.
ReplyDeleteJen is a very good designer.
What beautiful pictures! Your family is soooooo talented! wow.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a fun project.
ReplyDeleteI love those strips of fabric when she formed an angel. That was fantastic. Dee
ReplyDeleteThose fabric creations are beautiful! I would love to visit that shop.
ReplyDeleteI love both...even though not blogging I figured I best come and check here to make sure I did not miss something!
