  3. The other two metamorphograms, now finished.

    First was an argonaut, second a segmented shell, both designs by Japanese origami artist #TomokoFuse

    I have plans for them, exploring the philosophical idea of vicarious memories. I.e. when we 'remember' our parent's early life, because they repeatedly told us about it.

  4. The metamorphograms from a little while ago are done. They were exposed for about 4 days.

    This one was the maple leaf. There are at least four distinct layers in shades of blue.

    My poor folding of the stalk of the leaf is shown in all it's chaotic glory!

  5. Started some #metamorphogram (cyanotype mixed with origami) images.

    Folded from archival tissue paper, which results in poor origami, but the image will be what I need.

    Maple leaf, by Peter Engel. Argonaut and Flat Shell w/10 segments by Tomoko Fuse.

    Exposing for... a while... in a contact frame.

    Ably assisted by Border Collie.

  6. And finally, because we've used coloured threads for the sashiko on the front...

    ...and have stitched through the batting and backing...

    we get a series of beautiful patterns on the rear of the quilt as well.

    This was a lovely collaborative project. I hope to do more quilting soon.

  7. The sashiko stitching adds so much beautiful detail.

    It draws the eye to new patterns within the whole, and links sections through (here it comes...) a common thread.

    Tessa Layzelle, textile artist, take a bow.

  8. Using your sewing skills (or, in this case, with the collaboration of someone far more skilled than myself), the 9 cyanotype panels were joined together.

    Cotton batting and a white rear panel were tacked in place.

    To join the front and rear, lines of the pattern were picked out in hand-stiched sashiko...

  9. As I've shown previously, you can also use cyanotype to custom dye some thread.

    For this quilt, we used a mix of plain white, speckled blue, and full blue threads.

  10. After you've exposed the print, wash the fabric well.

    You get (somewhat obviously) a negative version - or should that be a positive version? - of the original cyanotype.

    Now, repeat until you have the required number of printed fabric pieces.

    Two prints shown here.

    I used 9 for a 3x3 quilt.

  11. Now all you need is some cyanotype coated fabric.

    I used squares of cotton cut slightly larger than the image. This gives room for seams.

    Put the negative on the fabric, squeeze everything together (I used a contact frame) and expose in the sun.

  12. Tried another fold of Anibal Voyer's , very happy with it! Wish I had a clean paper though XD
