Getting Caught Up

 

I finally got my circular window piece for the SEWN class finished today.

I used some prints I made on my encaustic hotplate – it uses wax printed onto Japanese rice paper. I love that it is already starting to be very transparent, even more than vellum.

I boo-booed and stitched those pieces all together in strips, rather than just cutting out the wedges from the paper. But I didn’t let that stop me – I put them all into a circle and then ran out beore it was to the end, so I used one last print I’d made for the last section.

That sort of goes with my always wanting to collage in a piece of art, so it worked for me.

You can’t tell in the photo, but I left the threads long in the middle, like Mary Ann suggested. I like how it looks.
