This is the first of my just play around and explore time. I began with some poorly printed leaves and over printed with a blue green paint. Some leaves are machine stitched over but most are hand embroidery using a mixture of different colored threads. Fun creating a temple with gold leaf and gold paint. While I was busy with this, I had some fellows paint my kitchen! Now I'm starting on a sorta grid pattern and I have some other fellows coming to clean up this little overgrown yard. Spring is moving along nicely!
I have missed out on so much being gone for so long, this is stunning and I can see the inspiration, nice to see you just "playing around" !

Delete'The Temple of Spring' would be an apt title for this one, Mary Ann. with all the lovely shining leaves against the gold -love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sharmon, I've been gardening these past weeks so leaves are definitely on my mind!
