| My Bubbly Bug |
This is a fun piece I created for the remnants exhibit, an exhibit of California Fiber Artists at the Harrington Gallery in Pleasanton. I was challenged earlier this year to create a piece using bubble wrap. And this is what I came up with!
It started with a photo my husband took at the UCLA arboretum of some ladybugs. And it has morphed into a pixelated fiber creation of bubble wrap, men's silk ties, plastic fruit bags and old thread. I created it in several layers if bubble wrap which I ironed together melting the plastic. I later cut and collaged the three layers together and ironed the piece for the very last time. See below on how each layer was created.
Do check out the exhibit if you are in the Pleasanton area...
