Hand dyed fabrics, laces, crocheted motifs, beads and charms. Machine quilted, hand embroidered
For a special birthday, my daughter Nina's special request was a piece which would use a multitude of the techniques available to the textile artist. Nina loves texture and colour, skill and craftsmanship. She also loves the sea with its glorious life forms and mysterious depths. So I decided on "Lagoon." Hand dyeing, scrunching, burning, layering, crochet, embroidery and beading have all been used in this piece. From my stash of laces came the seaweed curtain - dyed and layered, with glimmers of crystal and a suggestion of mystery in its depths. Because of all the layers and bulk, much of the piece was hand sewn with holding stitches. The piece now hangs in their home in California.
