My piece for the structure challenge is called
Leaf Structure and it measures 20 x 30 inches. It's a bit of a play on words ~ most of my focus has been on eco dyeing lately, using leaves of various kinds, and having been a bit of a horticulturist in the past I've always been interested in the structure of leaves. So I created this structure of leaf prints.
The fabrics are two old cotton fingertip towels complete with original embroidery and lace at the bottoms. Eco dyed with eucalyptus leaves and rusty objects, backed with more eco dyed fabric, batted with flannel, and handstitched with rayon sewing thread.
