Not many words today.. just a picture to share :) My first wallhanging with a little freemotion embroidery on.. Its a reasonable sized wallhanging 22" x 24" Inspired by photos taken on many wonderful walks along the North Cornwall coastline between Daymer Bay & Polzeath.
 |
| Hung from a nice bit of Dorset driftwood.. collected this piece in Feb 2010, it was just perfect for this hanging. |
 |
| Freemotion grasses |
 |
| And a freemotion seagull flying high |
My next wallhanging has a LOT more stitching on it :)
Have a good week folks - hope you are enjoying the summer xx

What a lovely piece..I can almost smell the sea air! And the driftwood piece to hang it-perfect. I am lately looking for interesting ways to display things..this is delightful.
Its really lovely and the colours are great especailly the turquoise grass part.
This is just lovely, and you are right, the driftwood is the perfect mounting
thanks for sharing

Its looks gorgeous Deborah and i love that bit of drift wood to. Ha funny how i live almost on the beach and didnt think to go hunting for hangers there lol

Deborah--You definitely have 'a way with the sea' in your artwork! I can feel the motion of the updraft under the bird's wings and hear the sea grasses rustling. You've displayed it in a perfectly integrated way, too...just a wonderful piece overall! XXO
This is wonderful Deborah, it's so beautifully subtle - And it's exactly what I needed today at my 'Painting with Fibres' workshop to show everyone the possibilities... Gill
Thanks Gill, Karen & Heather for your lovely comments :)
Gill, I feel honoured that you showed my work as an example at your workshop - thank you.
