Landscapes

1 06 2014

Landscapes belong not only the realm of painters.  Textiles are a wonderful medium for natural scenes.  I have experimented with numerous fabrics, cutting and snipping to create three dimensional shrubs,  couching yarns to delineate different textures, and moods.  Creating “matted” frames or borders makes them wall-ready.
