Chapter 4

 A larger piece using overlapping sticky circles from a sheet of DVD labels.  they were sprayed with Brusho ink, rearranged and resprayed again.

 

 

 

Fabric made with torn masking tape on black cotton and coloured with Pental Paintsticksthe black shapes were stiched to give a feathery effect.

  
A piece of  white cotton was sprayed through with walnut ink through a piece of embroidry canvas. This gave a Gingham look to the fabric.  Sticky paper strips were applied in a random birds nest pattern and the piece was sprayed again through the canvas using Brusho Burnt Sienna.  random egg shapes were machined over the piece.

White fabric was lightly sprayed with Brusho Turquoise.  Hot wax was dribbled onto this.  Egg shapes were drawn with a candle and sprayed yellow but these didn't show when the wax was removed so egg shapes were cut from sticky backed plastic, applied and resprayed with Rose Pink.  Small circles of turquoise stitching added.

 This piece was a little too big to fit on the scanner so a photo is included

Bird shapes from Chapter 2 were cut out in sticky backed plastic.  one set was stick onto white cotton and spraed yellow. Tthe second shape was added and sprayed turquoise.  Bird cages from research were stitched over the white birds.

 

Bird houses from research were cut in sticky backed plastic, arranged and sprayed.  they wre rearranged, more shapes added and resprayed with a different colour.  this was repeated but I misssed one of the shapes, which remained white!  This was outlined with   I really like the colours the Brusho spray istitching, as were the other dominant shapes.nks give!

Feather prints on cotton cloloured with Brusho sprays (above) and on a multi-coloured cotton (below). This has resulted in lilac shapes on the dark areas and very pale lilac on lighter cloured sections.
