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!
Dette er rett og slett nydelig Liv!
