Dette veggbildet sydde eg tidleg på 1990-talet medan eg var fast vikar på skulen i Ulvik. Berre einsfarga stoff i katedralvinduteknikk. 192 blokker. Teknikken treng mykje stoff, slik eg har gjort det treng ein 5 og ein halv gang so mykje stoff som flata det skal dekkja.
Teppet har fått hengja urørt i trappa på skulen i snart 20 år - det er kjekt!
I made this wall hanging early in the nineties when I worked as a (locum) teacher in Ulvik. I had a lot of spare time between my lessons, so the headmaster asked me to make a decoration for the school. I used 192 blocks of monochrome fabrics. I had a very exciting time making it - putting all the pieces on the floor and standing on a chair to see properly from distance.
The technique as I used it needs 5 1/2 times as much fabric as the finished size.
I made it all by sewing machine.
It's been left in peace hanging in the staircase of the school during all these years. Incredible, really!
