So as Guilt can do what good intentions can't, I knuckled down and got stuck in. I'd been messing about with embellishing patches of wool fibre and waste threads into a backing fabric, using a hoop to keep it from buckling and warping.
I then overlaid it with machine stitching.
The scale of the thing is fairly large (for me) its about 30 inches by 18, and despite my best efforts it has warped a little- but its currently damp and drawingpinned to the back of the studio door so I've good hope of it smoothing out a bit.
The design is based is drawings I've made when walking in public parks- neat patches of grass and specimen trees...
I'm quite pleased with it all things considered- my camera and artificial light doesn't do the colours much justice
Just 3 more to go.....
