Gelli Plate Printing

Some Gelli Plate Monoprinting in black and white using black fabric paint. Unfortunately the fabric pieces are quite small, the size of the gelli plate

Module 2-Chapter 11-Stitched Fabric Samples

 Fabric sample based on paper design 2: here I also used leftoverstrips combined with decorated fabric strips. I inserted a "fringe" in the seams

 Fabric sample based on paper design 8: sewing curved shapes didn't proof to be an easy thing to do, so I cut out the shapes and glued them with a temporary spray onto an interfacing. I joined the "seams" with a zigzag stitch (white on black and black on lighter background) and cut back the interfacing

Fabric sample based on paper design 6: prairie points were inserted in the seams

Module 2-Chapter 11-Paper Samples-Part 6

Design 9: I should have made the strips narrower and cut at an 45° angle to make the chevron pattern more obious

 

Design 10 a-e: playing with the same block

Module 2 - Chapter 11- Paper Samples-Part 1

Design 1: light and dark strips glued horizontally, cut vertically and assembled alternatively

Design 2: Left-over strips in different widths were assembled randomly on the bias (square 16 cm). This square was cut into stripes (4 cm), then into little squares and reassembled.

Design 3: strips of different widths from dark to light

Module 2-Chapter 11-Paper Samples-Part 2

 

Design 4: strips of different widths (4, 2, 4 cm), small strip in the middle is of the same light value, but smaller scale, which can't be seen as the strip is too small.

 

Design 5: strips with small and bold characters, cut on the bias, reassembled with black strip inserted, cut horizontally, reassembled with light pattern strip inserted

Module 2-Chapter 11-Paper Samples-Part 3

 

Design 6: "Stack and whack" method: different strips were cut into triangles, then reassembled with, narrow strips inserted

Module 2-Chapter 11-Paper Samples-Part 4

 

 

Design 7a and b: Why not curved: left-over strips were pieced; a) darker tones, same value, b) lighter tones, same value, curved cut, then reassembled, curved cut lengthwise, reassembled
