Some hand stitches with various green threads, various shades of fine tulle netting,
Some singeing of organza, some beach rocks stitched into vintage linen pockets
More layers of tulle and strands of organza kelp, a few fish of various sizes
This tapestry/textile Collage piece will hopefully be my big new piece for May First Friday at the Artful Dimensions Gallery. We all like to have new art to debut at our big monthly opening events. You will all get the First Reveal as soon as I finish the piece. Not sure what to call it. Any suggestions????????????????

Beautiful layering of fabrics and stitches. I like the surprises that appear when I looked at the closeups.
Bottom of the deep blues sea? :)
Beauty beneath the briny? LOL!
It certainly is beautiful.
Love the recycling bits, i.e the veg mesh bags, I've been saving these for some time now in my ongoing collection of, "what might be useful for textile crafting" bits n'bobs box!
I also use tomato puree tubes - cut off the top and bottom of the tube, open carefully and wash carefully. Lay on a towel of similar with the inside uppermost and rub out the wrinkles using a sponge or bit of cloth and then you have a sheet of crafting metal, usually any shade of gold!
I have used these to make embossed fish,stars etc and put them in cards, on boxes etc. If you're worried about the rough edges, turn under a small amount on the edges and press on firmly.
Lokking forward to seeing the finished article.
Have a great week,
Sandie xx
That is going to be beautiful! Here are a few ideas that might spark a good name for you: Underwater Dreams, Beneath the Surface, I Dream in Blue.....I'm kind of stuck in thinking about dreams right now!
It definitely is going to be beautiful. I love the way you've used so many different and unusual items to create this piece. I'm not good at coming up with names so I won't even go there. I'm sure you'll get some great suggestions.
Beautiful texture. How about Great Lace Reef?
Love the layers!
When I look at this piece, I think Calypso Colours!
Don't know what to call it, but it is very intriguing and lovely.
Undersea intrigue!
I love, love, love that piece! Wonderful work. I have an evening dress obsession, and I could see that design all over the skirt of a ball gown. :)
So beautiful I love the colours and texture amazing
Underwater Ody-SEA!!!
