This piece started out to represent Earth using techniques from Jean Littlejohns Voluptuous Velvet book.
I feel it represents Fire more than earth. Earth, Fire, Water and Wind are the themes for this years Machine Embroidery Group at Wattletree road and also the The Embroidery House Theme for exhibition this year.
The main part of this piece has been created using a multicoloured crushed velvet which has been machined then overlayed with organza and net before a heat gun was applied. Embellished with beading . The sky I used a piece of black synthetic felt which I machined felted silk and wool fibres to before overlaying with a multi coloured piece of organza and then added some free motion maching. Trees and birds have been created on water soluable fabric before being machined to piece.
