The leaves are made of organza layers and free machine embroidery - I meant to make silk paper leaves - the silk paper I made was quite thick - but I intend to make some thinner ones for cutting out shapes.

I am so lacking in artistic skills! My gardening may be my way of expressing art, but it tends to be hodge podge, and may not seem artistic to others, but I guess not all art appeals to all people. You are fortunate to have both gardening and artistic skills. I think this piece is my favorite of the ones on this page. I like that sun, too.
I love the composition.
There is a feeling of “rightness” about it.
so, for me it “feels” right, and has yet the hand, too… free and yet with order

Thank you for your kind comment Karen, and how lovely to get to your new website. The picture here is gorgeous - I love the layers and light quality in it.
Oh Karen, what a wonderful blog! It’s so different, interesting, amazing!
Your artwork and photographs are a joy, thank you for sharing them with us.
Blessings.
In Karen’s field the poppies blow…
Are you using the silk paper for the leaves?
A much lighter feel than the last couple of pieces. I can see it in a frame on my wall!
