Strip Collages: Sandra Meech

When making a quilt piece I came across Sandra Meech's work, she creates quilts using different fabrics collaged together in stips and patches.

I took this idea to make my own stip pieces by ripping long strips of paper and maps, with cotton scrim and lace ribbon I used a sewing machine to sew all the pieces together side by side over lapping.

I tried this again larger using images from my walking drawing and pictures taken from journeys in oxford.

I thought this looked too white so on my second one I tea stain the entire thing afterwards.

This looked too brown and the pictures wasn't working very well so I tried tea staining only the white photocopies of my walking drawings before ripping them into strips.
