I started this piece- Hedgerow Harvest at the beginning of Nov and finished it this week.(Jan- so that is two and a half months, off and on) It is 56cm x 8cm. This is a close up of a fieldfare to feast on the berries.
I have photographed here in 2 halves- the whole thing is now my banner. You can click on the label below to see how it developed. I have suggested a little patchwork of fields and landscape behind the motifs but I felt too much distracted from the berries etc. Interesting that on Instagram it has been my best liked piece so far.
I really love this piece and the bit of woven embroidery in the background really works well with the entire piece.
ReplyDeleteThank you Beth I did intend initially to stitch more colours into the those loosely woven scrim pieces but it was too distracting. They do work as a rough texture in the background landscape and I am using the same idea in another piece.
Deletewhat a beauty!
ReplyDeleteThank you Mo. The gathering at your house is wonderful!
DeleteThis is lovely! The colours are luscious and the whole thing makes a lovely banner.
