Thought I would share one of the projects I have worked on from Soul Food. My current one is from the session led by Jeanette House. Whilst it is not fabric it uses sewing and crochet.

| Sunrise - first stage weaving |
I took two separate pieces of water colour paper and applied different mediums and then cut holes in one and used the other to weave in-between the sections.
After it was weaved I added some shapes which turned out to be two ladies, and then the rest flowed, with the stitching I wanted to show the horizon line and then added some other elements.
I made some mini crocheted flowers and then got carried away with the details for the hair and the rest followed.
I really enjoyed working with the different elements and then adding the sewing and making the mini flowers, and at some point I hope to work on some larger pieces.
What I am trying to take from each is an element of the technique that I can use to inform my own work, and also just to be able to play -
If you get a chance why don't you check out the course, do share what you are getting up to, have you used paper and materials in this way, what have you come up with. Blessings for now!
