Calico Craft Parts: Fabric Art Collage - Waiting for Spring by Kerstin

Saturday, 19 February 2022

Love working in mixed media style, you can combine and try so many materials,

new impressions and inspirations are always created.

MDF shapes complement also fabric collages wonderfully,

especially love the filigree and wooden look here.

I was inspired to create a fabric collage in vintage style.

It's a mix from various ripped fabric leftovers, cutting dies and photo cut outs.

First the fabric scraps were attached to sturdy paper

and then adorned with a few decorative stitches

to create an interesting background in shabby chic style.

I used here only a few MDF shapes as 3d effect and eyecatcher,

sometimes less is more.

They were only lightly primed with white gesso and highlighted

with some glitter paint (gold, green) just a little,

but it gives a wonderful effect when the sun shines on it.
