Okay, okay....after FAR tooooo much over thinking about the finishing treatment for this piece.....I jumped in yesterday and just did it! The width has been narrowed a bit and facings added to finish the edges.
The indigo dyed silk noil provides an 'otherworld' feel.....thus the title. Hand embroidery draws the eye around, while the ice dyed cotton fabric adds sparks of color, and the beadwork adds texture.....all merging together in one successful piece.

I love the bits of yellow that add sparkle and the dark beads on top that pull you in for a second look. I'm glad that you cropped the piece, it seems perfect now.
ReplyDeleteI like it, it's got me thinking about some of my odd bits of indigo.
ReplyDeleteI love the way the yellow bits add some contrast and accent the blue!
ReplyDeleteI like this piece very much! It reminds me a bit of flying over Saskatchewan...if it were blue! The yellow pieces...crop circles? ;-)
ReplyDeletelove the mix of fabric, they really compliment each other.
ReplyDeleteThose little yellow boxes look like relief boxes pushed off a plane dropping to willing hands.
