C'est finis
The fat lady has sung: The edges have been bound and the two landscapes are as complete as I can make them.
(Please ignore the daisy pins
holding the hanging to the rod :-( I forgot they were there when I took the photos)
The upper pic is totally fabric: machine appliqued.
The pic with the black (fabric) "frame" was worked using wool and some silk tops.
The settler's hut/cottage is of machine appliqued fabrics.
Both were based on the same small watercolour postcard: they were my first attempts at a 'true' landscape,and yet to me,both are so different.
At the present,I'm working on a quiltie: a six inch finished square...........one side consists of a square embellished onto a piece of cotton scrim,and further embellishments added.
The reverse side will feature a batik style fabric embellished with a hot glue effect(courtesy of a challenge a while back on the yahoo Textile challenge group)
I'm trying to work outside the traditional quilting square!
Interested??
Watch this space.

The materials we have at hand, or those we choose to use, do influence the final outcome as you have so wonderfully demonstrated with these two pieces. I cannot choose a favorite between the them ... each one is unique.
These are magnificant Maureen. Well done - I'm very impressed.
Thank you Nellie
and Catherine.......
I always appreciate your comments.
