Poppies will always remind me of my grandma- behind her house on Franklin street. She had a field of poppies, and I can just see her standing in the middle of them as I came around the corner of her house on my bike.
As I do more and more fabric collage I am amazed at how little visually detail we need to identify what we know- the bees are just a small row of stitches- but the yellow/black certianly identifies a "bee"!
This is great, nice job!
ReplyDeleteI love this! I tried to do an illustration assignment last year using fabric. However, I found it to be very frustrating with all the little pieces. I ended up just scanning in the fabric and assembling it on the computer.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I really admire your work. It has such a beautiful feel to it. I love being able to see the stitches.
Great job!
lovely illo.
ReplyDeleteI love what you've done here with the fabrics. So awsome.
ReplyDeleteWOW! Julia this is lovely. I really like the choice of fabrics, but more than that, the perspective ..the subject and the little buzzing bees are what make it so special.

ReplyDeleteJulia,
ReplyDeleteOnce more...a gorgeous piece of work by you...I am always astounded by your work.
This was a fast little illustration- did it here and there over the weekend. Fabric is wonderful for me-as is basketweaving and knitting- I am fiber obsessed for the shear (no pune intended) reason you can take it out or off and try again! Dont like something- I just rip it off- usually peoples heads and do it again and again. Editing was what was messing me up in all the other mediums I tried- pen and ink, water color and even paper collage. I get things right- on about the fourth try! Fabric lets me do that!
ReplyDeleteWow your work is fantastic! (I had a look at your portfolio). I'm always happy to meet my fellow history buffs.
ReplyDeletecheers,
