I have kept an eye out for cool pieces of fabric for adding to still lifes, but have had a lot of trouble finding ones that would work. It needs to have the kind of pattern that is easy to simplify with paint. Recently my sewing adventures have included buying things from the thrift store and modifying them, or frankenstein-ing different things together. The fabric that is available to the clothing industry is far more vast and interesting than the fabric I can buy as an individual. So it occurred to me recently that I can also look at the thrift store for things that I can cut up for still life. This one did double duty. Not only am I using this little scrap in the scene above, I also used some of it to make a t-shirt for myself.
