This piece is called "Inner Landscape" and is constructed of a hand-felted wool/silk piece hand stitched with perl cotton to a painted canvas. It was fun to do something completely different, not even involving a sewing machine.I have been working on so many new things lately, in part working towards an appointment I had today with a director of a local gallery http://www.dehavillandgallery.com.au/. It went very well and I am going to be part of an exhibition there later this year, along with my friend Janine Matthews. We are both feeling very chuffed, in particular because it feels like we are making some small inroads to the mainstream art world.
I am off tomorrow to Mittagong to the DUQ Indulgence Festival where I'll be attending a class with Susan Mathews, which I'm really looking forward to.

Well I meant that comment to come up from Intuitive Textile Journeys. Veronicah
That is really different and interesting. I think it's partly putting it against the painted backdrop. It's a blending of things I wouldn't expect to blend. I like the texture of the fabric part and the texture of the painted part. Interesting. I like art that makes me think and ponder.
I hope you had a great day at your festival!
Ooh, Nic! That's gorgeous. I am feeling a sense of passion as I drool over it. Very lovely.
I don't know what's cooler--the felted central piece or that lava-esque background fabric!
