I've made a little progress in this early stage of my SAQA "Upcycle" entry (or entries). I have three possible dyed tablecloth backgrounds:
I have doubts about the bottom two, they look too much like tie-dye, which they aren't. Many people try to equate some of my dye techniques to 1960s era t-shirts, which is NOT what I am trying to emulate. Anyway, for the Upcycle idea, I want to create a series of small abstract collages on dyed damask napkins and join them onto the tablecloth background. Here, I am starting to audition the napkins:
The separate small collages will incorporate lots of found objects and stitch-able materials. I will likely add pieces of re-purposed clothing too, and I am about to embark on a journey through the house looking for potential non-fabric scraps - for example: shopping bags, net bags from fruit and vegetables, junk mail, wrappers, etc.
