I received a flyer in our local newspaper for a visit to a exhibition "POP ART" 11-13 Nov 2016
It was being held at Hautapu Community Hall a few Kms from our home
I decided to visit.
The art, ceramics and some knitted objects were stunning.
It was interesting and I purchased a book on sale "Wandering Under Big Skies" by Charlotte Giblin
I paged through the book and wow! what lovely photos of her art
I asked her if I may do some thread painting pieces using her art.
Charlotte gave her consent and so I've made my 1st piece
Page 67 "pausing for thought 2015"
I have used a technique I used at a w/shop we did in April at our Textile Group
gleaned from the book Layer, Paint, Stitch by Wendy Dolan
Here are some pictures of the process from start to completed piece
