The 100 Day Project - Leafy Inspiration



Over the last two days, inspiration for #The100DayProject has come from my garden.... Today, 9/#100pinpoems celebrates the weeds! 
"In April sunshine, 
Dandelions multiply- 
Yellow extroverts " 
Materials : cotton fabrics, thread and safety pin. 
Techniques: Fabric collage and  machine stitching. 
The leaves of our grevillea , Robyn Gordon, have a beautiful deep colour in the afternoon and although not really blue, I really love the colour combinations of this piece of disperse dyeing. 
8/#100pin poems 

The colours are replicated in 8/#100pinpoems 
"In the fading light, 
Grevillea leaves darken 
Like evening shadows. " 
Materials: polyester and cotton fabrics, thread, disperse dyes, and safety pin 
Techniques: Dyeing and stitching. 
I really did like the colours in this dyed piece of fabric, so I couldn't help myself- I played around with them in a photo editing program and enjoyed creating some images which may turn into other textile art works. ?
