“Sacred Life” series. A little hand stitched wall hanging. I used very old silk and scraps of rayon and cotton. The bigger blue leaf is a vintage velvet creation that I’ve saved for years. I used a pretty blue and copper raku bead at the bottom and a little twig at the top. I embroidered the tree names in gaelic and english. 2011.

Love these hangings. I like that you’ve laid one on a sheet of newspaper with the columns verticalised to match. A conscious choice? They reminded me that I saw some wine bottles in a Chinese restaurant window the other day, ‘dressed’ with miniature kimonos. Thought I might ‘dress’ some vintage bottles of various sizes. Ann
Thank you so much for stopping by! On the little wall hanging dresses – I think I lay the newspaper on my work table for a clean surface to make the photograph – whether I lined up the vertical lines or not, I don’t know! But I may have liked the way it looked for reasons I was unaware of! haha. Anyway, Thank you.
