This is a piece I played with the other day. I layed snippets of thick wool between fusible web and chiffon, ironed it all to seal it. I then did lots of hand embroidery with different stitches and thread, then zapped it with the heat gun. In some places it needed toning down a bit so I added some treasure gold (of course!!!). I'm thinking of cutting it up to place on the front of some book covers.......not really sure yet.
I'm off to Bendigo for a few days to visit my Mum and Dad - catch you when I get back!!!!!

A lovely piece of work Dianne so many colours.

Now that is a yummy sandwich!Gorgeous colors and texture. I cringe thinking about you cutting up- it's too pretty to cut up!

This look so delicious I just want to run and jump into it. I've used this technique several times (you can see them on my blog) -- but never to this extreme. I love what you've created here -- and must try it again!
Sumptuous, as always! I love the hand embroidery on the sandwich - usually what you see is FME for this kind of "homemade" fabric. And the colours!
oh wow what a fabulous piece, its beautiful, Jx
This is very special, I am curious what you shall do with it....I keep an eye ;)
What wonderful texture Dianne!
I'm glad my work arrived safely and you liked them.
I hope you have a great time with your mum and dad.

This is beautiful. The colors are wonderful.
I'm going to try this ... I've been tempted to play with a heat gun ... you have convinced me! By the way, what is treasure gold?
