Monoprint Magic result

 

Gwen Cogman attended the Monoprint Magic workshop held at Mellymade Designs studio and used a variety of grasses, ferns and leaves to monorprint her fabric before joining them using the machine Pojagi piecing method. 


Gwen sent me these images of her completed piece. Lovely colours and with the light shining through really shows of the plant shapes.





Handing in the doorway at The Cosy Cabin in Risby Barns. The seams become an impotant design feature of this Pojagi technique with colour mixing where the seams join.


The choice of hanging location can really change the look of the hanging.











The same work hanging against a white wall is much more subtle.


Well done Gwen, a lovely example of the Monoprint Magic technique.


If you would like to book this workshop for your group please email: maryelmcintosh@gmail.com

White cotton organdie for monoprinting, and coloured organdie for piecing can be supplied for £15
