This has now topped all the others and become my favourite sample.
The first version of this was one layer of Vilene as a backing to give the piece some structure. Then a layer of rusted cotton, with a top layer of rusted Lutrador. I then machine stitched a grid pattern to secure them together and using a heat gun distressed the Lutrador to expose the rusted fabric underneath.
It looked good, but I decided to make another, using the same backing, this time I layered smaller pieces of rusted fabric, varying the type. I used cotton, linen, silk and silk noil, making sure there were plenty of raw edges exposed!
I then followed what I did previously, overlaying the Lutrador, machine stitching and heat distressing.
This was a much more interesting sample, a great textural piece. Definitely one to use in my final piece. I love it.
