Page for Juliette

Since Juliette received her seashore page (the second attempt as the first was lost in the mail), I thought I'd post some photos for everyone to see. I love the little sandpipers along the seashore and I had this lovely piece of rusted fabric that reminded me of the beach so I put the two together. The water is a hand dyed piece of fabric. The sandpiper was drawn with colored pencils and then painted with fabric medium. I then did a bit of machine stitching and quilting. I edged it with a raffia machined cord.


Here's a close up of the bird.

And the back. Glad you liked it Juliette and maybe sometime you'll get the first one too.

    Such a lovely piece. I do like the sandpiper standing looking into the water. You are so lucky Juliette, but then you already knew that!
