Piece for Exhibition

I finished this piece on Friday. We've had all sorts of things happening this week with a dress up party on Saturday to prepare for and a broken down car to get fixed. This piece is for the exhibition, 'Tragedy, Treasure and Trade'. It is titled 'Miserere Domine'. Made from felt, hand dyed habotai silk and free machine embroidery and applique.

Bunting for BIFF.

I just finished the bunting for my van. I've made two strips like this. I painted vilene with inks. Then, when they were dry I zigzagged around my traced template lines. I cut out my shapes, then I painted the black detail with slightly diluted acrylic paint. Followed by gold ink. Cute, huh? I'm really pleased with them. I think the gold really sets it off.
