I have just framed an applique abstract textile art piece.The design has both simple and reverse applique techniques. A base fabric of peach fabric was covered with layers of organza in white, grey and blue. The edges were cut simply with pinking shears. A layer of black cotton was then laid over the organza and satin fabric. This was secured around the edge and cut away. Floral fabric was then appliques to the surface to reform some shapes. Strands of pearl beads and pearl beads were added to the textile. Silver cord edged the floral fabric. This textile piece is hand sewn.The beading adds a three dimensional effect to the piece.
I have also just framed a cross stitch piece which was based around a conical flask. I used metallic threads to stitch the design.
