A silkscreen I made in a college course on textile design. The assignment was: create a design with 2 colors that overlapped in places making a third color. We had to come up with our own lettering style. The title is Enigma. Not sure how I came up with that. It was a long time ago.I still like the word.
I have all the pieces from the original layout.
This past year in my effort to use up what I had in the studio I decided to start using the last of the fabric.
Made a cushion for my studio chair.
Complete with zipper.
Quite a few scraps left to use later.
More on my upholstery journey later.
If you know how to sew you have a valuable skill. Neat-looking seat cover.

That's beautiful. Enigma is a wonderful word. My daughter made the mistake of naming her home school (in CA home schools are registered as private schools) Academy of Enigmatic Knowledge, thanks to a terrible ex-boyfriend. She was so embarrassed later to have to fill out forms of where she went to high school! Even the man registering it wondered if that wasn't an oxymoron!
ReplyDeleteThat is funny!
