04/08/2007 | Leaves

I made these leaves from a technique learned from Pam Watts. The leaves are stitched with free motion embroidery onto a cold water disolvable background. The disolvable isn't disolved away, but moistened with water and has paint dripped onto it. When it dries, the background shrinks and the leaf becomes raised and slightly 3 dimensional.
