FOCUS ON NATURE - NEW WORK FOR 2016

Well...here we are in 2016!! And that finds me finishing a previously started small piece of wall art. 
 The inspiration was this piece of deconstructed screen printed silk noil.  
 After isolating a section that would best coordinate with this interesting blue agate slice....the stabilized fabric was fitted into a Q-Snap frame. Beading in a frame provides ample support for this heavy object and it helps avoid fabric distortion during that process.

The beads are stitched in a specific pattern that creates a cage which holds the agate in position. The hole in the slice is simply too tempting......it is screaming for attention. Do come back tomorrow to see how it is enhanced.

I never can guess what you intend to do with a piece Mary and then am always so thrilled when I see where you've headed. This is gorgeous so far!

This looks good but I can see why that hole is calling you. Look forward to seeing what happens next.
