I am getting behind with my blogging again.. I really must try harder to keep up!
This is a recent project.. an bit of an experiment. I wanted to have a go at a landscape picture, a nuno collage really, using lots of lovely different silk fabrics in intense and not necessarily realistic colours.
This is my first one:
 |
| Decided to use this photo as my design.. I love this tree, it is a couple of fields across from our house.. the trunk has turned as it grew so the bark spirals round and round |
 |
| I laid a base, with some pretty hand dyed curly locks along the bottom for a fringe |
 |
| Started laying pieces of silk sari fabric for the fields |
 |
| After laying the picture out I outlined everything with very thin strips of dark navy merino. The tree trunk and a few branches are brown merino. |
 |
| Unfortunately my photos were taken on a dull day.. the colours glow more than they do on the pics. |
 |
| Close up I'm really pleased with it :) |
 |
| Fringe detail |
It reminds me of stained glass windows.. I'll have to look at beautiful stained glass windows and artwork from medieval manuscripts or books of hours to inspire my next one.. I think that could work really well.

That's so beautiful collage picture. I imagine there're lavender and sunflower fields. With the outlines and fringes are icing on the cake. Loving it.
beautiful! I am itching to get some felting time in. Love the way this turned out!
