mini cushions- work in progress


These are details of work in progress. I have been inspired by Linda Kemshall to quilt my printed fabrics and stuff to create mini cushions. I have also experimented with sparkely threads. The purple and yellow cushion below needs to be finished, so I have shown some details only here.


Final Printed Pieces



I screen printed the block colours and then used the lino blocks to print more detail on top. The light blue works well on top of the rust and navy blue, with the lino detailed printed in a dark blue and burnt umber mix.

Here I have mixed a warm beige colour for the screen print shapes and overprinted with a burnt umber and blue mix.


I have used the same printing combinations here, but printed on to scrunch dyed fabric.


And finally the same combination printed on to bright pink.
