I had my sewing machine out this morning so I doodled some Christmas designs on to a piece of old blanket using brown paper, wrapping paper, newspaper and stitch.
Burnt using a soldering iron.
These are work in progress as I will be adding trims before putting them on cards
A One of a Kind wearable art fashion
(Work-in-progress)
Artist: Mary Anne Enriquez
AKA: Urban Woodswalker
The main outfit is a dress (might be in 2 pieces or 1) made entirely of collected post consumer PLASTIC bags including:
- Food bags
- Metallic interiors of snack bags
- Floral bouquet wrappings
- Produce netting,
- Shopping bags
- Newspaper bags
- Short lengths of colorful yarns/ cords
- Clear dry cleaning bags (lining)
- Easter basket shreds (plastic filler)
The fabrication technique used on the upper part is crocheted with clear fishing line. Many "tufts" imply newly sprouted feathers. The outfit is multi-colored , and very colorful....bright pinks, blues, yellows greens, etc. The bottom skirt area is a process of heat fusing, physical manipulation, and shredding.
Ensemble includes a minimum of 3 accessories:
Ring, Headdress, and Mask.

I have been experimenting today with making chains out of a variety of materials.
Some were formed from ripped fabric and finger crocheted, some were made out of wool and crocheted with a hook, and others were knitted in a loose manner.
The textured background is building up nicely.
Work in progress for some ATC cards. Do you remember all the rules about table manners? Yeah me neither. I'll post the finished products later.
After tacking two sides together with 50/50 solder a bead of 60/40 is run over it to smooth it. 60/40 is 60% tin, 40% lead, it flows easier and takes longer to set up giving time to create an even bead. 50/50 is not as easy to work into a nice bead.
I'm so glad I remembered this pattern from the wacky Australian quilting magazine I bought almost a year ago because it's perfect for Rouenneries.
