Another mixed media piece for the gallery in Gettysburg this weekend - pleated silk shibori with needle-felted backbround mounted on to textured/painted surface. I really want to take a better picture outside but for the past two days we've had dark stormy clouds in the morning so this will have to do but I love just looking at the combination of soft silky colorful pleats combined with the wool and other textures. I thought about naming it "earth, sea and sky" but Shibori Borealis won out!
Margo!!!!!! This is absolutely stunning and the name is perfect!!!! It also reminds me of a topographical map!!! Simply exquisite!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, this is so lovely. I do want to touch it! Lovely name too, btw... :)

The shibori dyed silk is gorgeous and all the textures are just so complementary and so too the colours - gorgeous work!
