  Just the Ticket  
  Each label is approx. 6" long with textured backgrounds created from freehand machine embroidery and tiny scraps of fabric.  The foregrounds are 3D flowers created on sheer fabrics or water soluble medium.  

     
     
  Inspiration for this small piece has been taken from an 18th century English court dress. Several layers of freehand machine embroidered net combine to make this delicately intricate fabric. Tiny flowers of cotton velvet are overlaid with yet more machine embroidery in metallic thread.
