Hot Stripes |
||||
 |
Hot Stripes started out as one yard of Hollis Chatelain's dye-painted fabric.I embellished it with ribbons, yarns, and threads, following the starburst pattern of the painting. Then, of course, I cut the fabric up and sewed it together again, embellished it some more, added a few strips of hand-dyed gradations, added some buttons and tassels, put it in 3 sections, added the tabs at the top, and called it Hot Stripes. | |||
