Sunflower 2

Sunflower 2, my second commission for a client is finished! I printed the background on a gelli plate, stamped on a sunflower design and embellished with embroidery and buttons. It was bound with a ribbon and mounted  and displayed in a pale pine frame. The finished piece measures 6"x6".

Sunflower

I have just finished my first commissioned stitched picture, of a sunflower. The background is printed on a gelli plate, then stamped and the petals were embroidered in layers. The middle is made from beads of three colours.
