Sumptuous Surfaces Piece # 2 - Half Way
I have finished the first low relief layer of my patchwork piece. The base of each square was green non woven fabric that florists use, I increased the number of layers to help with the tonal changes needed. The one inch square pieces allowed me to use a range of stitches. Click on photo to see in gretaer detail. The main challenge was to create a gradual change in tone as I progressed down the piece. Alot of squinting took place and unpicking but I think I am happy with the result so far. I expect that I will need to remove or add after the top high relief layer is finished. I have started this at the top, lilac triangle!

Yes, thank you for showing the design process. Your work is interesting and inspiring. I am also inspired across media by K Facet(spelling?):)
Oh, WOW. I love the variety of textures and the way you've built them up as the squares go down the piece.
It's a joy to see the progression of the color and texture, Margaret.
I didn't realise how detailed each square was until it was enlarged. Brilliant!!
Your piece already looks very interesting. I look forward to seeing it with its complementary color.
looks great! love the 1 inch squares. a tiny canvas in itself.... I'm still on the first piece and I'm adjusting constantly.. and its in beige! so I sympathise with your squinting!
