Effervescence II

Finished at last and this image shows my piece in situ at textile21's latest exhibition at The Whitaker, Rawtenstall.
The question I got asked the most is 'how did you manage to get it to stand upright?' And every man who studied it had to look around the back. The secret was an acrylic pole.






Here is a closeup of the detail.

Almost there

Effervescence II is now ready for dyeing. It has been cut out and some surface embroidery added. 
I am at the stage of deciding on the colour of dyes to use. I am leaning towards a cool colour scheme.
Watch this space for more images of the finished dyed piece.
