Nearly finished my hanging on Calabria- not yet thought of a title, but will come up with something when completed- Decided against using patchwork techniques as too perfect, so used the tried & tested technique of bondaweb & ironing on the pieces of naturally dyed fabrics- spent all yesterday afternoon free machine stitching- but the results look good, especially after rubbing over with a teabag to distress the buildings.
Have now finished the hanging, by adding more free machine stitching & for a change I have framed it with glass. This finished the piece off as it is pictorial & looks great in the frame.
Won't be adding a photo just yet as piece will be going into Exhibition 'Spirit of Place' at Alston Hall on 30th June.
