We passed many wedding processions during our trip and the colour and excitement prompted this piece. It is made from eight different layers of synthetic fabrics and each layer is burned back with a soldering iron to different depths.The piece is mounted on red sari fabric. Red is the significant colour for the bride’s outfit.
“Rajasthan Wedding†was made in 2006
The following photograph shows another project inspired by India and my head contains more ideas for projects “still to do,†than I will ever have the time to actually make.
This small wall hanging derives its name from the fact that animals are still used a great deal to transport goods in India. This hanging features:
* A camel – The image for this is taken from a print block that I bought in India.
* A horse – The image for this is from a picture in one of the forts where we stayed.
* An Elephant – This image is taken from ‘Traditional Indian Designs’ by Polly Pinder – Search Press.
“Lead Free†was made in 2006.
This wall hanging uses the Revelation Burning technique and is enhanced by beaded embellishment

This is another in the series of tropical images and focuses on two parrots in a tropical environment. This piece also uses the Revelation Burning technique and some beaded embellishment but the main focus is the colour and the stitching.

This piece is made using my “Revelation Burning†technique and features a tropical paradise of foliage, birds and animals. The edges are “eroded†to indicate just how we are destroying this tropical paradise inch by inch.
