I started off with a piece of blue fabric which I completely covered with layers of scraps, fibres, ribbons and the like, everything really. I covered them with a piece of cream coloured fabric and using straight stitch created panels of lines and boxes.
Using a pair of small sharp scissors I slashed the fabric, by cutting in-between the lined panels and cutting crosses, diagnals and lines in the square panels. This revealed some of the underneath layers.
Inspiration for this piece came via a link that Chris sent me by textile artist Fay Maxwell

Fab result Sam, there are some real fabric treasures exposed from under the calico! Have a slashing time!

Hi Sam, this is wonderful (I've just seen this recently on a DVD I have) I found you via jozartdesigns but remember you from CSF - don't know if you'll remember me I was Little Lion ;-)

BTW I know we don't NEED to make anything from this type of playing but will you be using it for anything in particular? I know what it's like sometimes when you make something even like a tag just 'cos you want to and people say 'what's it for?' or 'what do you do with them?'!!! LOL

Well, Sam, I've got to say that this looks even better in the flesh. I love how all the underneath layers peek out.
Wow, you have been so busy whilst I have been away. Love this piece. Funnily I almost bought a t-shirt which featured slashing. I love what you havbe done.
