Artist Deidre Scherer uses fabric and thread as her medium:
Using fabrics as paints, Scherer "draws" with scissors and then layers shapes to give her two-dimensional images a sculptural quality. Using her sewing machine as a drawing tool, she stitches the cloth surface, drawing with multiple lines of colored threads, to create a startling realism.
