Abstract Mountains

I love Sabine Kaner's work and was delighted to hear she was hosting a workshop on TextileArtist.org.

She designed this great and simple technique to create an abstract composition, using a crumpled piece of paper. You base your design on the lines that arise on the paper and transfer this onto fabric. With appliqué and emroidery you can then create a unique composition.

This is what I made of it, not a totally abstract piece, since I never quite can suppress my love for a narrative of some kind. My abstract became a mountain scenery. I chose muted colours, with one lively exception, a green segment on the bottom.

The piece is framed with a loosely cut piece of corduroy from an old shirt.
