"Walls of Heaven 1"

10"x10", rusted cloth, stamped cotton, bronze beads, bronze iron on paper, hand and machine stitching.

I began this piece with rust stained cloth pieces and pretty much after first steps, I found myself in "rescue" mode. I ran into big trouble trying to apply a rusty/bronze paper with my iron...very mottled and it continued from there...after about a hundred attempts at this or that, I finished (quit). The beads do add a nice sparkle and I think I've come through this effort with inspiration to continue creating with ancient walls as my subject. Something I'm willing to consider down the road. All in all, I'm ready to clean the studio table and begin yet another exploration.
