In a college art class, we were assigned an art project-complete a self portrait in any medium. Being textile obsessed, I naturally gravitated to fabric. I was so excited about this project even though I'd never attempted anything like this.
I used all commercial fabrics purchased from a quilt shop, got really lucky in finding enough colors in the same tone/value. A few classmates laughed because Im green but I was pleased with how it turned out. The only comment that got a little under my skin was made by the instructor. He advised that it was a bit on the crafty side. I disagreed and suggested he do more research on textile art!
I have learned a lot since completing this piece (I hope) and I am currently working on a piece now. I recently purchased an overhead projector so I can make it any size which is great. Detail pics to follow!
Art Is Life!
