I’ll make the first post of this snake I made

Not really my most recent, but here’s a wall quilt I made and sold last year. It’s called “Moonlight Vimanas”.

With fabric you can’t really do shading with the fabric itself. It’s all about planes, tonal value, color and texture. Actually, thinking about it, you could probably do shading with thread because you could do hatching, cross hatching and similar techniques with thread.

I used to do a lot of animals in fabric. Here are a few. The background fabric on this one is “dyed” with Inktense blocks.

The background fabric on this one was texturized with oil pastel then I painted over that with acrylics, the oil pastel acting as a resist.

They are all fantastic

Thanks, Terri! I was just getting ready to sell my sewing machine but you all’s positive feedback is making me pause on that!

You have a very unique talent. To capture the values using contrasting colors with fabric is amazing not to mention all those pieces have to be joined together. Beautiful job thanks for posting. Ron

@IsaacG

Great idea to start a thread like this one!
I know very little of sculpture, most I have done is play doh kindergarten art haha, which helps me understand the difficulty of producing very smooth shapes such as your snake. I wish the background was a little lighter to better appreciate your creation, if you don’t mind me saying keep your art coming!

It is admirable how good your pieces art and the skillset for sewing so many intricate shapes. They are awesome!

Bought some wax crayons month ago and tried them two days ago. This ones are Manley wax crayons, really soft… Nice to combine them with waxy colored pencils.
This pic born out of just scribbling around.

Is there someone with experience with wax crayons?
It is really interesting, Germans only thinking of children scribbling around. When I surched in English or Spanish there are ideas shared which show grownup art with wax crayons.

[IsaacG]

thank you for the feedback. I will post it in a lighter area soon

Hi Elina -

I have a lot of Crayola crayons because my sister use to come to my house often and we would color together. I never really liked them because there just wasn’t enough pigment. I never combined them with colored pencils. What you did with them is truly amazing. I’m also impressed that you could just sit down and create something like this out of the blue.

@robichon Oh, I can recommend this Manley crayons. They have much pigments. I only drawed more value with colored pencils (Windsor& Newton and Black Edition Faber Castel)
Drawing together can be much joy, even when the outcome is not really a good looking picture. I regularly draw with my friends kids. Especially when they are getting bored.

I really like what you’ve done here, especially with the colors. That’s cool knowing you did this with crayons, I’m not experienced with them.
