Fabric Streets and Houses

 

I use second hand frames found in charity or secondhand shops to frame fabric collages pictures. The pictures are made using second hand fabrics and old clothing

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Each picture developes randomly with no fore planning, I just play with the fabrics and colours until I think it looks right.

Sometimes whole streets appear and somtimes just single houses with a tree. The background fabric is sometimes incorporated into the picture too.

 

Decoupage Frames.....

I was given these round white pressed wood frames.............they were ugly!  I had them for over a year before  having a Eureka moment and deciding to cover them in odd bits of fabrics that I have over fromo other projects and also paper scraps and buttons etc..........

They are approx 85cm (33.5 ") with an opening in th middle of 70 cm (27.5")

I had two of them so played around a bit until deciding to place a mirro into one and a felt mosaic into the other. It was a lot of fun.

Using basic white school glue (PVA) and voila thats it.
