The art of textiles has been passed down for generations…including mine. My great-grandfather was a tailor who married a seamstress who gave birth to my grandmother, an awning maker who had my father who was an upholsterer, who married my mother, a gifted hand-embroiderer, who had me. I have been a graphic designer for over four decades and although I’ve long felt an affinity for fibers and threads, I only began fabric collage in 2016. How in the world did that happen?
Take a closer look at the animal you are trying to create — is it wild or domestic? Does it live near a lake, mountain, ocean, forest, or desert? What makes this animal happiest…lying in a sunny spot, rolling in the mud, or chasing a butterfly? Taking the time to connect with the animal you are trying to create will enhance your work. There are many beautiful fabrics to choose from. In Part 1, I directed your attention to light, medium, and darks of the colors you wish to use. But which colors should you choose?

Servus and welcome back to "my" Calico Craft Parts Monday feature! Claudia here to bring to you a kind of "farewell" project for one of my favourite seasons of the year - which is autumn. Sadly over here there was a rather wet and cold "autumn" this year so not much of the usual beautiful and clear autumnal light and colours for me - so I created a piece that is meant to capture that at least. Calico Craft Parts used: - MDF Printers Tray Kit - Style 2 - Sitting Fox MDF Wood Shape - Style 9 - Flying Barn Owl MDF Wood Shape - Style 1 - Mushrooms Funghi MDF Wood Shape - Style 9 - Sheet of Mini MDF Wood Birds - Crows&Ravens - Sheet of Mini MDF Acorns and Oak Leaves - Sheet of Mini MDF Wood Insects - Style 3 - Spiders Web Corner MDF Wood Shape - Style 1 I started with cutting apart the panels for the inner compartments to get more random looking boxes to fill. before after with all the shapes I wanted to use for my shadow box I glued the printers tray's pieces together using matte DecoArt Decou-page. Once that had dried I started painting my tray with a coat of DecoArt Americana Charcoal Grey as a base. Afterwards I dry brushed on some strokes of DecoArt Traditions Phtalo Green-Blue and Medium White. To tone it down (as the colours looked a bit too cold) I gave it a wash of DecoArt media English Red Oxide as well. Then I started to "rust" my animal shapes: I mixed some DecoArt Americana Dark Chocolate with some bird sand and dabbed the mixture on as a base coat using a piece of a kitchen sponge. Once that was dry I dabbed on some DecoArt Americana Persimmon and for a finish a bit of Primary Yellow in some spots. This simple three steps treatment creates some gorgeous textured rust on your MDF pieces! I did the same with the printers tray frame's fronts: Some alphabet wood blocks were inked around the edges and then glued in place alongside all the other pieces using matte Decou-Page. Et voilá! Winter is already at our doorsteps - so I hope you enjoyed this attempt of capturing a bit of autumnal warmth as much as I did! ;) Thanks for stopping by and happy shopping with Hugs and happy crafting!
