We have a lovely still life set up each week at Dupont Art Club where I belong. I normally get on with whatever current project I have going but this still life was so colourful and fresh that I had to paint it.
Once painted, I crushed it and bonded it onto textile.
After that, I stitched it with my trusty Bernina machine and by hand. At the end, I repainted some areas and framed it. ‘Sunflowers’ will be going into the Annual Dupont Art Club exhibition next week At Ventnor Hall in Brighton and Hove.

Your treatment of the still life was layers deep Judy. I loved the outcome!

Thanks for sharing. I love the result of this fusion. What type of paper did you use for the first step?
Admin_JA
Hi Joanne, I use 30 lb watercolor paper which is thick enough to take the abuse and thin enough to crunch down. Jx
