More Holey Moley

Here are a couple more samples from the Holey Moley "Layers" workshop.
As I have said previously even though I knew how to do these techniques before it was great to refresh them in my brain.
The first one is chopped up fibres on felt covered with a sheer fabric and stitched in metallic thread.

This one is sheer fabric-vliesofix and foil ironed together and then attacked with the heat gun.

here is a detail after I had added Goldfinger metallic rub.

I will use these small pieces on cards.

Holey Moley Layers

Finally I have gotten around to doing some more of the Holey Moley workshops.
I had fallen behind on a couple of them late last year but I am making sure that I keep up this year.
Lesson 4 is all about layers and even though I have done some of these techniques before it is nice to do them again just to refresh myself on them.
In this one I chopped up pieces of fabrics onto a base fabric--I used silks-synthetics and metallics
in a colour wave of yellow greens and purples which reminds me of summer berries.
Then I covered it with a black synthetic sheer.


Next I machine stitched a grid over it and then attacked it with a soldering iron to distress some of the squares.

And finally I added some Goldfinger metallic rub to add some hilites.

I rather like the way this turned out and it reminded me that I should do more of these backgrounds to have on hand to make ATC's and Postcards for future swaps.
