\"Angela's<\/a>
Angela’s IRR – Before<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

At the meeting the other day, everyone doing the IRR challenge got together and we swapped pieces. We changed things up and I now have Angela’s IRR piece. We were not originally in the same group. Her group was small and everyone had worked on all of the pieces at least once. I didn’t have one to work on so I volunteered to work on Angela’s.<\/p>\n

The pieces are getting quite large. I quickly put a signature strip on the side and then started thinking about what I could add that would look great. I liked the castle fabric, but wasn’t sure about just putting in a big strip of towers.<\/p>\n

The diamond motifs caught my attention and I started working on adding free form diamonds.<\/p>\n

\"Free<\/a>
Free Form Diamonds in Process<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I have a hard time being completely free form\/improv-y, but I did my best. I tried to make the diamonds not in alignment. I didn’t like the way they looked. I sewed the diamonds to backgrounds and played around with them a bit.<\/p>\n

I looked at the piece and saw that dark grey kite fabric. I played around with that fabric and came up with a kind of checkerboard effect.<\/p>\n

I like the way it turned out. I think the dark fabric adds a bit of a frame to the piece and sets off the diamonds as well. I also like the visuality of the dark fabric going around the corner.<\/p>\n
