Finally finished in plenty of time for the deadline.
To be called "Sandbank".
Any self respecting sandbank would surely have driftwood...
...among it's flotsam & jetsam.
About 21 x 24"
Hand dyed and rusted cotton.
It was the fabric that inspired this piece.
Machine and hand stitched.
Inspired by the blue
What a fabulous piece. I've been watching as you created it and the finished piece is just wonderful - very inspirational!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Angie. The development of this piece was so organic and intuitive.....a joy to work on.
ReplyDeleteI particularly like the bubbly holes with the fabric underneath showing through - and as you say, every sandbank should have some driftwood!
ReplyDeletethat blue would inspire anyone, looks like you went with the flow.
ReplyDeleteLove it, love it, love it!! This is a mixed up media piece for sure! The use of the driftwood is positively inspired.
