Spring love



SOLD

Spring is in the air... well, I imagine it is because it's not definitely spring yet...

But I'm inspired and this can be a good beginning.

I got another try with the embellisher and this machine is fascinating me more and more. It's really done for me and my technique.

This time I tried metallic silk organza and my favorite felt stitching (I don't know the name of it, it's the use you use when you do doll noses). I also tried a special wool and embellished fabric on the border and trapped a piece of fabric (the one with the writing) under nylon organza.

I embellished all over a piece of padded scrim/wool/organza.

I also used Tyvek this time (gold painted)

This is my piece for the Textile Challenges Group.
