Eileen has made a 5”x7” wall piece for submission to our March 23- April 24 Exhibit, “Outer Space”. Here are slides of her process to create the piece.
The first image shows the metallic fibers as it comes, in the bags; blue and gold sheets have been fused by ironing.
Second picture - she has started to stitch on the sheets and cut out shapes.
The flower components were layered and stitched. She covered a stretched canvas with a piece of hand-painted cotton fabric. Then the flowers were glued on top. The topmost flower has a peace sign in the center.
This is one of several Ukrainian-themed pieces Eileen is submitting to the gallery for this show. They are blue and yellow, have sunflowers, the Ukrainian flag, or peace signs. I will donate 50% of sales to refugee relief organizations.
