Fusing the spell

The letters are fixed by ironing and dyed with diluted acrylics. Not as brillant as I was hoping they would be. Then I fused them onto WU, cut the spell in stripes and fused them onto the gown.






I had considered to cut the gown up and resew it into a t-shape like the Joseph's Coat, but it did not allow me to.


So I fixed the spell along the edges. And I will have to sew all this because fused parts tend to separating from the base.
I let the spell run around the space, so it is turnt upside down at the lower edge and makes a 90°-turn like it was used on ancient inscription stones in Scandinavia.

I wrote that tradition in Estonia was oral. There was an exemption of wood cut runes, the calendar system; it went back more than 10200 years, back to the time when the land emerged from the water through postglacial events similar to those happening in Canada.

You are a wealth of wonderful ideas, Eva. I will come back soon and try to catch of with all I missed in the last month being away.

Hi Darlene, nice to hear from you again!

I've found that it's best to sew down things I've fused too. Things just come off too easily otherwise. I really like the way the colors show up against the dark.
