The piece was based on photographs I had taken of another textile piece, an idea which I had not explored before. I have used my trusty grid thermofax to create the laminated piece, which meant that only parts of the photograph were incorporated and the original image was fractured. The paper lamination was then layered onto one of my 'rejected' pieces of gridy printed cloth.
The colours in the detail photograph below are a bit washed out (normal service resumed!) but it shows the three layers in the piece in a way that you can't see when you look at it with the naked eye.
I used my favourite sections of the lamination and pieced them together with the dusky pink fabric, which were off-cuts from fabric I printed for one of my C&G pieces. There is a little bit of stitching on all of the panels, with the stitching on the central panel using thicker thread. The outer panels are slightly raised by the insertion of wadding underneath.
I've enjoyed my exploration into paper lamination and have another piece almost finished and another piece in the early stages but I think that it will be something that I will come back to occasionally but only occasionally.
An interesting piece Marian and thank you for the detail shot. I have played with paper lamination too but have cut it up and used in collage as I didn't know about using a screen. I was so keen to have a go that I missed that bit :-) I like the fractured effect it gives so will probably revisit at some point. I like the use you have made of stitch throughout.
