Wild and Beautiful Debbie Marais

 Snowdrop
It is hooked from all sorts of fabric, mainly old t-shirts onto hessian. I haven't finished the edging yet as I want to do something different to what I normally do which is an overwrap stitch using fabric. The image is 13" by 18". I did try to do it smaller but I really wanted a more voluptuous snowdrop so it got bigger! I have always loved snowdrops and that was the first thing that popped into mine when i saw the brief in January. I just drew the design onto the hessian and then redrew it when I wanted it to be bigger.

One of the reasons that this is so late is that I had by some bizarre coincidence been working on a piece inspired by Hundertwasser. I will finish it and do some more samples by the end of June otherwise I will have nothing to do!! Looking forward to meeting people at the workshop in July.
