Monotypes

This is a series of Monotypes I did this year after taking a flatpattern class. I got really into the shapes of basic pattern sewing sloppers so I wanted to incorporate them into my work. To get many of the interesting shapes and textures I used such items as colored paper, pattern pieces, lace, and fabric. After I had finished running these pieces through a press I decided to try sewing directly onto many of the works with my sewing machine. I really like the look it gives and am excited to try it out again on future works.

(The size of these pieces is 11x15)
