Piecing hand printed fabric

Often I print small pieces of fabric that can be combined to make mixed media art pieces.

There are a few things that help create fabrics that will work together:

  • Use the same weight and type of fabric
  • Pull some very dark and very light value prints
  • Use tools and imagery that has some variety and repetition of scale

I don’t always follow those guidelines and then I end up with lots of fabric that does not work well together.

This small wall hanging was fun to sew together. I used a little warm and natural batting as the backing. It was very easy to sew and the primitive hand stitching shows off the texture of the fabric.
