Found a few minutes in the studio today and got started on another little piece. Remember that green and white stone?
It was totally not working, so I decided that it might look better on a white background. But plain white? C’mon–you know that would never work for me! I grabbed some white scraps–few and far between here!–and tore strips to make a little woven mat. Deliberately crooked and rough because white on white needs the texture!
Soooo hard to see! I’m adding hand stitching–with white. It’s giving me the white textured background I want and I’m quite happy to have some handwork to do again.
Fabric and thread–nothing better!
Linking up to Off the Wall Friday.

white on white is always delicious!

I’ve not been much of a fan of white on white before, but I’m liking this!

good job, keep going with it and show us the finished piece. Lots of texture, love exploring whites. The top pic looks great to me. LeeAnna Paylor

Ready to play and love weaving strips…maybe I’ll do more of that for backgrounds, too!

You have given me an idea for a wall hanging that I want to start. I want texture and the weaving might just work. Post your progress; would love to see how it’s going.

I think I’ll be doing more weaving with scraps. I like the effect.

I love this idea. I am working with more white now too. I can’t wait to see what you do with this. This will be a winner.

I almost never work with white…it’s quite a change and very refreshing. I’ll have to try it more often.
