Folies Bergère.......The unity of watercolour and stitch !

Hi folks, well its still well hot here in the UK ! I love modern art and I came across a phenomenal piece of art the other day and I just new that I could interpret this piece into some great stitching !


This is the image .........I used my 'Transfer Tutorial' technique for the outlines and then I set about painting the fabric........Although the colours have come out lighter than anticipated, I am really delighted with the outcome.......Take a look.................


I hope to complete this piece in the next few days ! I thought maybe some of you would like to see this piece in progress and I would like to show you some of the close ups...............


I adore the french knot eyelashes !


And the crisscross feathers in the head dress !


Bullion knots and beads in her hair !


The pretty variegated leaves..........
I do hope that you like this piece and I shall show the completed picture in a few days.........Meanwhile thank you for dropping by and have a great week end !
