Noise, Take 1
This is sort of a failure.
The idea was to paste magazine pages on canvas then see if I could quilt them like normal. The problem is that despite my best efforts, the pages wrinkled up in a manner that’s ultimately unnaceptable. You can even see it without looking at the detail.
I don’t mind the large scale, overall appearance, but I also don’t think I conveyed the concept that well. I realized that I can mount the pages to bristol flat, then mount the bristol to canvas and sew it, so I’ll likely be using that method from here on out. With that in mind and the other problems, I’ll probably think this through and try it again in the near future.
Detail after the jump.

I like the wrinkles.

does the magazine Need to be sewn through? maybe you can apply it after the quilting. or apply it with seam allowance… that still might wrinkle it but maybe not as bad.

I too think the wrinkles add to the effect of “NOISE” in particular, though if you were working on another word theme it might not. The wrinkles add noise – I suppose is what I’m getting at. Is that too literal?
