ysobelleI'm only afraid of how I'm going to paint him.
Anyway, I'm thinking the red cape, which starts by his ear, will be three-dimensional. A lightweight red velvet, maybe?

Don't paint.

Date: 2006-07-11 06:04 pm (UTC)I'm not sure, but I WOULD like to try painting this one. BUt I'd LOVE to learn applique techniques, too. I know my serger & machine can do them....

It's the application that makes it pop, of course.
Another fantastic example of pictorial applique use is a lady named Susan Carlson, http://www.susancarlson.com/
her style is even less fiddly than machine or hand applique -- she uses fabric bits, arranges them on her fabric until it looks right to her using glue sticks and various sorts of craft glues, then when she feels like it's done, she stitches through the whole shebang to keep it all together permanently. Her work is AMAZING, and yet the technique is rediulously easy to play with, if you've any sort of artistic eye. (for you -- duh!)
Along the lines of GMTA --
Date: 2006-07-11 07:04 pm (UTC)I thought maybe elemental Fae would work better. But everything in my head was applique.
If you're willing to send me five or six muslin blanks, I'm willing to send you back some applique samples to run with, as well as to see your designs interpreted differently. (will sign whatever for no reveals and all that stuff you need to keep your work protected -- this is purely a show-you thing to let you go with. I've already determined that this sort of thing is best for me from an idea churn standpoint, rather than actually trying to execute anything more than one-offs. :))
