For the base of this piece I used felt. I dyed all the other materials with various shades eco-line inks. Laid the larger pieces down on the felt, added the fibres, lace, organza and tulle over the top. Sewed all the pieces together in a random fashion. Using the heat gun I melted away some of the fabrics and the felt. If you click on the photo for a close up you will be able to see that I didn't go too mad with the heat, just enough to give the materials some movement. Lastly, I added the felt heart.
I made this in exactly the same way as above except the base is a piece of dyed vilene and I also used silk paints along with the eco-line inks. I didn't use the heat tool on this piece as I liked the way it had come together without, but felt it needed a little something else. So I printed an image onto acetate and sewed it onto a used and dried out babywipe. I used the heat tool to melt the edges and sewed it on as the main feature.

Wow. You've had a creative day Sam! You are really loving sewn collage, I can see! I love the pink (?!) one only just a tad more than the yellow one. xx
Gorgeous colours, Sam. Great work.
Love them both but prefer the colours on the first one, Sam. That acetate image looks fab.
These pieces are getting more complex, but to excellent effect !!
Oh, gorgeous colour ranges on both of these, the coordinate beautifully.
