Hoodoos No. 5 aka Hot Flash

I could enter this piece into an exhibition as it stands but there's so much more I want to do to this piece so it hangs on my studio wall for another day.

Hoodoos No. 5
Natural dyed silk fabrics, batting, machine stitched.

WIP - Hot Flash

Hot Flash in progress.

Silk Crinkle Crepe, wool batting, cotton backing.

Natural Dyes, Compost dyed.

Machine stitched so far.



Added additional stitching to the surface this afternoon after much encouraging from Brenda to take the plunge and use some bold colors in it, and I am think fuschia and firey bronze gold.  It's definately starting to pop now, but, there's aways a but isn't there, I have tons more stitching to do and the silk crinkle crepe is a major pain to machine stitch.



I missed the deadline for the QAQ/Schweinfurth I thought it was a post mark deadline but alas it's a recieved by date.  One of these years I'll get the application actually sent off.

Hot Flash in what I like to call the ugly duckling stage, but soon to become a swan!
