A new exhibit at my local museum, The Columbus Museum of Art, is giving away free fabric! The exhibit is by Stephanie Syjuco. It's called Pattern Migration, and the artist had 5,000 meters of plastic fabric manufactured in Beijing. The fabric design was inspired by an American coverlet from CMA’s Stuck Collection of coverlets from the nineteenth-century.
This is definitely something I'm going to check out! I'm not sure what I'm going to make with it (red and black isn't my favorite color scheme), but maybe some tote bags? It's actually plastic-y, like oil cloth. When you're done making something with it, you can share it on Flickr and tag with CMASyjuco. I'll put it on my to-do list (maybe it will get done in a couple of months-ha!).

Woah , beautiful fabric . hmm , at first it looked alittle like indian style , the second look I thought it looked like singaura style in 60's but I guess the colour does not match , maybe if it is green light brownish and beige it will look more like singapura style .
ReplyDeleteheh , just a small thought .
Cheers , Lester
