It was fascinating playing around with the triangles, whichever way I turned them, a pleasing form appeared. Finally I stitched it together to make a small box. Whichever angle you choose. Our group has talked about working in 3-D for a while. This can be quite challenging, I certainly find it difficult to visualise how flat shapes act together and become three dimensional forms. Our challenge was to incorporate equilateral triangles somewhere in the design and the theme was 'meeting points'.

equilARTeral: New challenge - using a book
http://equilarteral.blogspot.com/2011/09/new-challenge-using-book.html
New challenge - using a book. Not sure whether to call this altered book or not. Anyway. for those following (and gave up on us) we got caught up in the exhibition Whatever Floats Your Boat by Thames Valley Contemporary Quilt. At the Slough Museum. So, we didn't spend much time together talking about anything else! But now we are hoping to do something for us again, and we are looking at the idea of using a book in some way. Then I had a look at the rescued books I have picked up here and there. We had a...

equilARTeral: Working in 3-D
http://equilarteral.blogspot.com/2010/11/working-in-3-d.html
We have been experimenting with 3-D, I certainly found it a struggle. I tend to think about 3-D as something which can be viewed from several different angles. So far so good!

equilARTeral: Triangle experiments - finished!

Triangle experiments - finished! My "suspension bridge" (although I am not calling it that.) I think I will call it 'Points on a Journey'. As it is about the journey and meeting places and stops along the way. Merete's box in the background. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

I have been sewing all my life and I have always enjoyed fabric. I marvel at the feel of a piece of cloth, the colours and patterns and how it drapes and shapes. I enjoy making my own fabrics, combining different techniques such as dyeing, printing, stencilling, painting - whatever it takes to get the look and feel that I am after. I usually work with strong and warm colours as they remind me of the warmth of spring and summer. So far, we have had 3 challenges in the EquilARTeral group. Again, the respon...

Working with a book. To start the project I went browsing in my local Bric-a-brac store, they have a lot of old books. I found a copy of The Sleeping Beauty which was illustrated with paper cuttings/silhouette, this offered lots of interesting possibilities to me. I made a small hanging to complement the book where I incorporated some roses cut from the book, which also depicted the main characters in the story. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Triangle experiments - 3. These are just stuck in, but they do what I want them to do. I will make sure they are evenly spaced and stitch them on. Now that I know they will stand up, I can go ahead and do the suspension bridge cords to join them. I can also go ahead and do some embellishment.although I am growing fond of them just as they are. I will probably be a bit more restrained than usual.if you can believe that. As Merete commented earlier,. Triangle experiments - 2. Some with points joined, some ...
