Progress

I hope you remember the solvent transfer I made on my soft, soft linen.


 I have been stitching back into it and using couched sari yarn for the heavier lines. I wanted to use black sari yarn but had none. It FINALLY came today so I will use it sparingly as well as using the dark colored heavy weight sari yarn already on the piece.


Entire piece


You can actually see the twisted fabric on the top piece of yarn



For those who don't know, sari yarn is yarn twisted from strips of sari (India dress) scrapes. It comes in various thicknesses, multi and solid colors. If you are lucky, you can "un-twist" the yarn for small snippets of cloth to add to a piece.



Black sari yarn - very thin



Multi-colored sari yarn both thick (upper left) and thin (bottom)
