Here's a little hint of what I hope will turn out to be a reflection of what my mind envisions.
Because this piece may be shown in a Beyond the Edge Fiber Artists exhibit, I can't show the drawing and steps in full until the art work is exhibited--that is, if it is chosen. I can say that this piece will be hand painted with Setacolor fabric paints offered by Dharma Trading Company, mounted on an 18" x 36" stretched canvas and will extend beyond the bottom edge. The peacock image will be appliqued to a hand dyed complementary background and will be heavily quilted with surface embellishment.
As I move along with this work, I'll post more steps.
Always remember, never fear to experiment.
Sometimes wonderful things happen.

Beautifully painted, Linda! I can't wait to see the final artwork.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mia. I've spent the last few days working on the tail feathers...no mean feat, I must say, but thoroughly enjoying exploring the anatomy of a peacock feather. Nature has it hands down in the creativity and color arena. The best I can do at this point is try to capture the "feel" of them.
DeleteCant wait to see it all done!
