Linda Kay White's Fabric Collage

Newest Thread Painting

I went to the grocery store looking for some interesting fruits or vegetables to use for the subject of another thread painting. The radishes caught my eye. I took a batch home, photographed them and this is the first result. After fusing the radish pieces of fabric together, I found a piece of hand dyed fabric that Leslie Dulin stamped using her original carved stamps that would be a perfect background for the radish. I fused the radish to this background and began free-motion stitching. And here you have it. This piece is not framed yet, but I think I’ll use the same molding as used for the eggplants.

Thread Painting

My newest adventure with fiber is thread painting. I start with fabric fused to a background, then add more color and detail to the image with thread. The eggplant is one example of thread painting. I hope to add more after the holidays. This piece is currently available at In-Town Gallery in Chattanooga.

New Work At In-Town Gallery

For my new work I’ve tried a different technique that involves cutting fabric into tiny pieces, sprinkling it on batting to create the design, covering the piece with tulle and then stitching on it to hold everything together.
