I've been playing with Modern designs for a while now (see here and here and here ). I really like abstract designs and I like figuring out ways to construct such designs. So I decided to design some samples for a class based around these design ideas and techniques.
I think of these kind of designs like a cloth Ikebana arrangement. Just seven or so elements arranged in an interesting geometry makes a great minimalist design!
I played around with placement ( the fun part!)...

And eventually settled on this placement. All the pieces were sewn by machine even the in-set squares. I will post about how I did that another time.
I think of designs like this kind of like a visual Haiku. A few short phrases or elements that when juxtaposed create and interesting composition?!
The're fun to compose and fairly easy to construct!

VERY nice! I like it a lot!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm really curious about the construction part - I mean the one horizontal fabric is easy explained as a cut and set-in, but the others are all miyying a lot of seams, they look like they were sort of reverse-appliquéed but that's not right either, because that looks different ... but I will just have to be patient ...
ReplyDeleteI like this design! It is very simple but very attractive.I think it would be harder in a way to design with fewer elements, you would have to get them just right. And you did!
