Back to the Textile Art Work.

With an exhibition looming, it's time to get back to the artwork. This piece was started some time ago but has been set aside for a while for various reasons. With the first stage completed, that is the stamp of the flower head made, and the rest of the design worked out in Photoshop from my own pressed grasses and leaves, it was time to get out the sewing machine.  I printed the design onto fabric that had been treated to make it waterproof so that I could paint onto it without blurring, but the first step was to stitch around the major features, before starting to paint. Unfortunately I think that the leaves at the top left are too dark..................but I'll wait and see.
