Composition #5 Garden X
$350
Hand dyed and commercial cotton, hand dyed silk organza, cotton batting, nylon sewing thread, pearl cotton embroidery thread.
Hand cut fused appliqué, machine appliqué, machine quilted, hand embroidered
I have been using hand cut “rocks” in my work for several years. I use hand dyed fabrics in value gradations. This piece was essentially a maquette for a larger piece representing a formal garden. I was experimenting with organza as an overlay with individual parts cut out for emphasis.
