11.11.11

Working at Stockport College next to the War Memorial/Art Gallery, I was momentarily startled by the cannon explosion at the end of the two minute silence for Rememberence Day! I was unexpectedly moved by two minutes of radio silence whist cleaning screens, thinking of all those lost lives. 
Here's hoping for a peaceful future.
As promised the cotton devore print below
Devore on cotton (laminated onto polyester chiffon)
The photograph is not terribly clear but it is enough to see the result is not captivating! Some samples work better than others, that is the point. This was done in response to a line in a book which suggested laminating two fabrics with bonderweb or acrylic print medium. This was bonderweb and it was  not strong enough, perhaps there should have been more pulls with the squeegee, any number of details might have improved the outcome, still food for thought, I do like the idea of holes being made in cotton, just a matter of experimenting!
