The Magic Socks
42” x 42”
Plain little town. Boring brown town. Curled up in their favorite chair, two girls long for adventure but cannot imagine it. They dream of soaring but do not know how. Then they discover the magic socks.
The work is created with archival acrylic paints and mediums on fabric. Beginning with blank muslin and sheer polyester, I created the images on the fabric through a variety of surface design techniques: monotype printing, stencils, resist, hand painting and drawing. The composition is constructed as a collage with machine stitching for texture and sealed with acrylic medium.
I enjoyed creating the contrasts in this work. the ethereal, “watercolor” sky is hand printed with loose color washes on sheer fabrics to create a dream-like environment. The houses of the town are printed with solids and heavy color on opaque cotton fabric.
Finishing: Fabric bound with a eco-felt fabric backing. The back has a hanging pocket and a rod, for traditional hanging tapestry presentation.
This artwork was juried into “The Alchemy of Art” show at Florida CraftArt in St. Pete, Florida and exhibited May through June, 2023.
PRICE INCLUDES FREE SHIPPING AND SALES TAX. (FREE for shipments via regular ground service, to addresses in the contiguous US)
