In honor of the beginning of summer I finished up this cute little scene.
Summer Meadow is 9" X 6.5" . The background and inspiration for this piece was just a little leftover. My local guild had a playtime meeting using Intense Drawing Pencils. One of the members graciously brought her pencil sets and fabric for us to play with. One of my experiments became the base for this piece.
Unfortunately I forgot to snap a photo of the fabric I painted before I started embellishing on it. But something about the colors and the movement in the paint just made me think of a meadow and I had to develop it into a finished piece.
Above is a close up of the finished piece.
Embroidery stitches, beading, netting tatting, paint,sheer fabric and gauze.
Layered on painted fabric and backed with 80/20 white batting.
I hope you enjoyed my ode to summer and are inspired to put some finishing touches on your leftovers or experiment pieces.
Have a great day!
