Our Mixed Media Art community is a diverse bunch and this week we turn to the fabrics side of Mixed Media Art and Trudy Thayer shares her “Sandwich art” with us.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Trudy Thayer is a 65 year old mom, gramma, veteran, and late-in-life college with a BFA  specialty in graphic design. She lives in Vancouver, Washington and loves the area and the artistic stimulus that abounds there.

“I call this project my sandwich art”, says Trudy, “I put together as many pieces of material I want, usually 5-6. Then randomly stitch all over it. No pattern; then I cut out down to a particular layer to expose different patterned material, and clip 1/4″ from the seam, cut to fringe.”

“Then embellish to my hearts’  content. I can make these personal, like for birthdays, or scenic, just about any theme I want. I have a lot of fun with these and the recipients love them. Fun, it’s all fun.”

It certainly does look like fun! Thanks Trudy to sharing your sandwich art with us.
