Chapter 10 INLAY APPLIQUE

It was interisting to do this work. I used different felt pieces, at some time i bonded coloured "Bonda-web, or made handstitcheing before I cut them in pieces.
I had a lot of fun with the differnt insertion stitches, and was surprised about the effect that I had have with the last piece- positive and negative shapes swapped.

REVERSE APPLIQUE-TRADITIONAL AND CONTEMPORARY METHODS

Few month ago, i bought a book about Herta Puls. And now I take a look in it and read about mola technique. Then I choose the frontpicture for my first work.
The first test was not successful, because I cut away on the wrong side. The second was a good result. At the contemporary method i like the multi-coloured-ripple-effekt best. It was so nice when I cut away the first layer, to see which colour comes out. Surpise.
