This is Abstraction, the finished Mixed Media piece I’ve been working on for the past week. The theme was set by the textile group Jeudis and my interpretation is purely non-representational.
The shapes, formed by laying out and felting the Merino fibres, fabrics and silks, have been traced with free motion stitching which in turn has produced ridges and valleys, adding to the overall textural effect.
For now it’s got pride of place hanging in the lounge in a simple, flat profile black frame…..
Well done! It’s gorgeous and I can see why you would want to keep it.

Thanks Ruth. The Abstract theme runs for the year so Ive got plenty of scope for making variations on this theme.

That is stunning and looks amazing hung on the wall. I really like the subtle range of colours as well as the textures and they are perfect off set by simple black and white.

Thanks Alex. I originally tried a cream mount around it but thought it looked much more effective with just the black frame.
