Fiber Optics

Fiber Optics was created with needlepoint canvas. This time I painted fusible interfacing with blue fabric paint. When it dried, I fused the interfacing to the canvas and I remembered to do my needlework before sewing it to fabric! The orange pieces are a thick material that my friend Maxine prints. They are left over from a tallis that we collaberated on. I wrapped some metal washers with purple yarn to get the circles. The brown woven looking stuff is yarn that I knit a few rows with and then cast off.

I wove ribbon through

the brown yarn at the

bottom to get some

sparkle. I love working

with all the wonderful

fibers that are available

now and Quiltz has a great

variety to choose from.
