Process

I shall let the pictures do the talking today, not feeling too with it due to a filthy cold and chest infection. The lovely lady who who commissioned this has agreed to me showing some of my steps in the making the piece.The brief is to make a personal piece of work of all the lovely things that she finds pleasing in the world of textiles and some elements that speak to her alone. It is a detailed and complex piece that will be presented on a large plain white mount to emphasise the jewel like quality of it.

I try to use as little glue as possible in the making because hand stitch gives it a quality that enriches the surface in a way that over use of the glue gun destroys.
