On my way to the bus stop on my way to Honey's on Friday, I saw my neighbour going to his car, holding a fabric sample book. I don't know them well but I know that he has an upholstery shop on Avenue Road. Inbal tells me his wife is an interior designer.
I asked him if he had any old fabric sample books, told him I was a textile artist and would be happy to take them off his hands. Saturday morning, he showed up with some 20 books of fabric samples in all shapes and patterns. Like this:
Yesterday afternoon, Menachem and I took apart one book. A lot of work to remove from the humungous staples.
And to remove the paper backing. I made an executive decision to cut off the paper. So I am making piles of the naked fabric and piles of the fabric glued to the paper - I am saving this for paper collage.
There was also a pile of fabrics not in books.
I see many possibilities. So am I building my stash or hoarding? What do you think?
