You may recall from a post last month that I have decided to work on a series of square panels inspired by a variety of sources. This is the first one which started from the piece created as an experiment using rusting powder.
I used a variety of different fabrics including some I dyed myself as well as commercial batiks. Once pieced, I free machine quilted in lines inspired by the original rusted metal that was the starting point for my rust series completed a few years ago. I deliberately left some areas so that I could fill them with stitches and beads in a similar way to the RUST panel. I also straight stitched some of the lines created by the quilting.
The finished panel was then stretched and mounted on an artist board.
