This is a fantastic ink painting exhibited at the St Kilda Alliance Francaise last year sometime. Unfortunately I can't read the artist's name but I wish to give him/her credit for inspiring the following ink painted cushion cover. If you can identify the author that would be great. Thanks. Although I have taken the idea from the painting above I decided to give the painting an Asian influence portraying more discipline and order as is the Asian culture. This cushion cover is worth $50 including postage with a zip closure and a navy blue serge fabric backing. Bordering the painting is lustrous silk fabric taken from a Japanese man's Kimono. As for this cushion cover I have rescued the silk insert from a Kimono. It has stains on the silk but it has been washed thoroughly before and after the ink painting of broken bamboo. I think the stains add authenticity. What do you think? It's for sale as well for $50 with a zip closure and a navy serge fabric backing. Please email me if you have any comments…………. This cross body bag is made from a Chinese embroidered dressing gown. Colours add to the scene of tranquility. This bag has a zip closure and an antique slide and strap adjustor. The stiffening has been reinforced with extra sewing to ensure lasting wear. It is fully lined. Priced at $30 including postage. Please email me if you are interested………...

Well, what a successful day trawling the second hand stores and ending up with some great fabrics - all for $20. Now here comes the preparation, pulling the garments apart, saving zips and buttons and carefully hand washing the precious fabric. I will dye the silk in grading colours for effect, maybe make some scarves or evening bags decorated with painting or fabric flowers. Who knows what the creative process will be? The suiting and the linen will be suitable for cushions or large shopping bags and the leafy pattern for trims, necklaces, flowers - it's all good. |
