Tissue has been
applied to a fabric ground and
coloured with various metallic
paints and powders, leaving a
pliable "fabric" on
which to hand and machine stitch.
Silk fabric scraps have been
applied to establish the
patterns. |

Each large metal
square is about 1". Freehand
machine stitching has been used
to blend the metal onto a velvet
ground. Some pieces have been
padded or embossed. |
