This was recently finished although the sketch and some work had been done some time ago. I had cut out flower petals and surrounding leaves from some beautiful batiks but couldn’t quite decide how the center should look and how dynamic I wanted it to be. I used a handprinted green fabric for the background and another handprinted yellow and red fabric for the backing. I thread painted the whole flower in yellows, copper, blues and fuchsias. I’m pleased with the yellow border also, a color that I don’t often use as a border.
