Succulent flowers in red block printed by hand on cotton/linen blend fabric.I had a lot of fun printing this piece. Unfortunately the light in these pics (especially that third one, what's going on there I wonder) makes the base fabric look slightly pink. Rest assured it's not. Instead it's a lovely natural shade. More like ivory. I have a piece printed with the succulent flowers in black ink that I'm tempted to sew into a skirt. I like the idea of using it in one panel at the front and perhaps the rest of the skirt in a dark light-weight denim. Sewers out there - is this idea a bit crazy?
I think that you could put it with a lightweight denim if it is a similar weight. If you do it, I would love to see how it comes out.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the feedback. I agree - the similar weight in fabric will make a difference in this working.
ReplyDeleteGo for it. As long as it is a similar weight it should be fine. I see we've both got the nutty fabric printing thing going on. The repeat length looks beautiful.It's a tricky thing the repeat.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! : )
