The base is a square of white felt (from a second hand shop), the green grass is a thin fabric upcycled from a failed attempt at a scarf I made from a long fabric scrap, the floral fabric is cut from a fabric scrap as are the pieces of brown tweed type fabric representing the tree trunks (these were already basically these shapes, I just needed to cut them off from the rest of the fabric.) The silver flowers are upcycled from a broken bracelet and the felt leaves and satin butterfly came from second hand craft kits. I've left some of the fabric edges rough to reflect that nature isn't about straight lines.

Excellent Juliet! So right: " nature isn't about straight lines."
ReplyDelete__ Grand Juliet! You building art from that which is not, the new in the old.
ReplyDeleteOne's creativity is such art; while another's fills the trash.
I love this, and particularly the way in which the roots of the trees have been allowed to go beyond the boundary of the collage!
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful piece, and the way you work with and against the frame adds to the excitement.
