“The Art of Fabric Collage II Advanced Topics” technique will allow you to paint a picture with fabric! In Book I you learned the basics and tools of fabric collage and experimented with my technique, I call "Painting with Fabric". In this Book II we will explore some topics in more depth and introduce advanced topics, such as elements of good design and composition, fabric choices, utilizing paints on fabric, creating borders with mitered corners and making your own binding. The Step by Step process of Painting with Fabric was defined in Book I. Now in Book II the Step by Step section takes you through my creation of an original fabric collage painting in minuscule detail. Every design and composition step is illustrated and alternatives discussed along with my rationale for each decision. Here are some sample pages from the E-Book
I have lectured and given demonstrations of my technique for quilt clubs and artists. I have also taught one-on-one in my home studio setting. Though I have been asked many times if I would teach a hands-on workshop, I always decline. My reason is this: my technique of Painting With Fabric is by definition a unique art form utilizing the medium of fabric. Every painting I create in fabric collage is unique because of fabric choices. The only way I could teach many in a classroom setting would be for me to create "kits" ahead of time. This would violate the uniqueness of this technique! There are many applique’ wall-hanging kits already available for purchase at your typical quilt shop. My technique of fabric collage allows individual creativity and hence each painting is truly original and unique.
