The Fallen; redux

 

Although I generally don't re-post my work, I had promised to re-post the fallen when the photograph was properly taken.  Thanks go out to Sylvia Galbraith (who is an amazing photographer).  She seems to really understand what it takes to photograph fibre.  She is also an amazing landscape photographer.

So, here is "The Fallen" again, represented in the actual colours it is in 'real life'.

This is the detail shot that Sylvia took.  The stitching on the leaves was all done by hand, generally what would be understood as seed stitch, but there are also other embroidery stitches.  The arking lines on the background fabric are free motion stitches quilting through the layers of fabric.
