First, the inspiration, a photo in a book on Aboriginal textiles-- this is made from batik fabrics (made at Utopia) and is 2 metres square. I love the complexity within simplicity, and the way it brings labyrinths to mind. But how it will "translate" to my fabrics is going to be a surprise.
Fabric possibilities - some commercial batiks, some biggish prints, some African tie-dyes, and some furnishing samples --
Other fabrics. A more restricted range of possibilities --
And now the (interim) results. This has grown to nearly 80cm square, and thereabouts it will have to stop.
This started with a scrap left over from the other, and is about 60cm, and still growing --
Neither is turning into a labyrinth. But there are many fabrics yet to use....
