Map making

This is a textile map of my childhood home. 

I used sheer fabrics and small scraps of recycled fabric and layered them. Some of the sheer fabrics I painted with  ecoline paint (which was fun to do and gave me lots of ideas!). 

I also added embroidery and some woolen thread.

This piece is inspired by the work of Valerie S. Goodwin, who makes the most wonderful cartographic art quilts.

To me this is a great way to capture memories. I quite like wandering through the past in a visual way like this.
