wool felt & silk piece for M’s ordination

June 30, 2008 · Filed under Church, dyeing, faith, fibres, friends, sewing



This was made with a wool felt base dyed with various acid dyes , I added silk dyed with same shades, stitched into with various threads & metalics, I printed text from the ordination liturgy onto fabric and incorporated with sheers. Ideally I’d have printed onto a sheer but I didn;t have any ( on shopping list now!) Dove is made from undyed silk ( and has been flattened by scanner!)
it was really hard to photograph or scan!! I mounted it onto foam board that was covered with black fabric. You can see a high resolution version by clicking through to flickr and then choosing ” all sizes”.
