Hi Everyone-
I couldn’t wait to use this image from Mind Wide Open--and this new challenge was my opportunity. The piece is hanging from a wire hanger (also from Mind Wide Open) and I was so excited to use it in my art.
This was also the first time that I have incorporated the use of paper with fabric...I like to work with batik as the colors are so rich. In addition to attaching it to the canvas, I also cut it in strips and used it along with other fibers and soy silk attached to the hanger itself. Beading with miniature coins were used as a trim to complete the piece. Also includes commercial graphics and embellishments.
I have been seeing hangers used to display several pieces, so I have “borrowed” the idea for this challenge.
To reach this challenge, please go to: Mixed Media Monday

This is a beautiful piece, Cindy. I'm loving the increased use of fabrics and threads in mixed media. They add an entirely new and exciting dimension.

Hi Cindy, this is gorgeous! I haven't ventured into the fabric/paper realm yet. Hope is the right text for the piece. Beautiful.
