Silk Fusion exploration!

Here is my sketch for the wall hanging...it's a work in progress it's already changed a bunch of times...but the 3 cone flowers are the basic compostition...the petals will hang free and I love that the plant is used for boosting the immune system as an herb...PERFECT! I am also intrigued with the use of 3...Father, Son, Holy Spirit, or past present and future...or my 3 girls...or I'm sure if given time, i could analyze it some more. The green silk will be for the leaves and the pinks for the flower petals...going to use brown corderoy and other textiles too, cheese cloth, velvet, organza maybe...oh so much fun...

I'm claiming this disease...it will not claim me!This bit of textile is silk fusion...so much fun to make today with a fellow artist...Brian...
this one is destined for echanasia petals on a wall hanging I'm planning on hanging over my bed...once i rearrange the furniture...
Here is a link to more info on how to accomplish this adventure into textile art!!! Create from within!

...here is my silk fusion for the leaves

this was just fun playing with the colors...not sure what will happen to it...maybe etsy will see it someday for sale???

this might be more petals not sure yet...

more playing with color...the blue is a electric bamboo that brian shared with me...isn't it georgous?

Here is Brian a friend that Kim (aka Deedaloos) introduced me to...such a kindred spirit!
He had many of the supplies gathered for me as he knows all the coolest shops up and down the eastern seaboard! You are too cool for color TV Brian!
