Is Patchwok Art....?!
Yesterday it was a Retro Cushion - today it's a Zakka inspired Cushion
My favorite part is picking the right fabrics for a patchwork project. For this cushion (measurement approx. 40 x 40 cm) I have used a mix of different prints, fabrics from overseas, Japanese fabrics and fabrics from local Danish shops. Some of the fabrics are gifts from creative friends.
Sometimes I pick out the fabrics in no time, but not always. It's important for me to give my work the right expression. Most of all I don't want my work to be too nice, if you understand. That's why I love mixing expensive designer fabric with vintage fabric and thrifted embroideries.
When I look at these cushions, I can see, why I love making patchwork. Four cushions made by me, four different cushions with their own expression. When I look at this stack of cushions in different colours and prints, I feel like an artist. Then I tell myself to take it easy.
Now I ask you, is patchwork art...!? Do you look at yourself as an artist..?!
