A pieced and patched fabric roll

This fabric roll is the result of a workshop I did with Gwen Hedley. I started by making marks on the fabric with paint, using very simple tools. Then I cut up the fabric and pieced the patches together. The fabric strip becomes a  sort of harmonious roll by blurring the joining lines with simple handstitch, extending the marks and colours from one patch to another with stitching.

I attached the fabric onto a wooden spool and on top op the spool I glued two pebbles.

I think the colour combination worked out fine, natural and a bit funky at the same time.
