Honouring a memory in cloth
Transferring a special photo to cotton provides lots of opportunity to be creative and elevate the photo to "Art". In this case, I extended the photo on three sides matching my hand dyed fabrics to the tones in the photo. Then I layered it up with batting and backing and free motion stitched the three layers together mimicking the ocean waves, sky and sand. And Voila! a sweet little piece created as a gift for a special friend, to remember our time together at the beach.
Thanks to the woman on the beach who agreed to take our photo and suggested we look out onto the water together!
Its small, around 14" x 10", but I still created a little rod pocket on the back for easy hanging.
