A Bird Flew In


Occasionally as part of our on-line class, Christopher spurred us on by giving us small extra challenges. While I can't go into detail here I will say the Bird Of Paradise pillow you may spot on Chris' Bag and Pillows web site is related.

Fabric punching is not just about attaching flat pieces of material to each other or to a backing. It can also be about totally changing the texture and sheen of a material. The metallic threads used are not just to bind the materials but to catch the eye & lead it into unexpected corners and unanticipated patterns.
