I enjoy mixing different techniques together. With these pieces I used collage and stitching. For the top one I tore up pages from magazines and collaged a cactus in blues and greens, then used a sewing machine to stitch into it with a stitch that replicated spikes. On the bottom one, I stuck down tissue paper with PVA glue which gave it a glossy finish, then cut out abstract cactus shapes in scrap fabric and a material I made by painting PVA glue on tissue paper and letting it dry which created a material similar to a very soft plastic, I then stitched over that with a sewing machine like the first collage. I like making materials from tissue paper because by layering the tissue paper I could make my own colours.
