23rd February 2022
I wanted to make a tulip picture for my wall and trolled through Pinterest for ideas and came across a painting by Keesvanderwettering which really inspired me!
Selected background fabrics from my hand dyed stash....
....kantha stitched the silk and machined the others with variegated threads...
....drew out the design and traced then cut out the templates, however I forgot to reverse the tracing strips so the next stage doesn't look quite like this!!!
I backed the silk fabrics with bondaweb to help prevent fraying....
...all pieces in place...
...finally stitched with a darker thread...
....I didn't notice the two little threads while taking the photo!!!
This 6" square canvas is now on my wall and I rather like it!
Not sure what I will do next, maybe one of my unfinished pieces from my stash....
