New Work.........Just Playing

Just finished 2 new pieces. The centre of both pieces are flocked leaves and flowers. The second piece, with flower motifs, has a collage of fabric pieces underneath a fine layer of organza. Then stippling stitched to finish both pieces. Just a fun idea to play with fabric collage technique.
