I was so pleased with ‘Witch Hazel Magic<\/strong>‘ (previous post), that I decided to do something similar for my entry to the annual textile art exhibit Cherry Blossoms: A Textile Translation<\/em><\/a> which will be on display in April at the Silk Purse Arts Centre in West Vancouver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I reviewed my photos of cherry blossoms taken last Spring, and found this close-up of a blossom and buds with a nicely blurred background. I enhanced the image with a computer program to boost the colors and add an artistic effect. The photo on the right is the result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I cropped it to a square and added a black border (left). I printed the enhanced image on prepared fabric at about 13″ x 13″. I layered it on felt and then quilted it with a variety of 50 wt threads. The background is echo quilted with light green 80 wt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I turned under the black border leaving just a sliver of black showing. Then I mounted it on a black 12″ x 12″ wrapped canvas. I titled it ‘Two Buds and a Blossom<\/strong>‘.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a detail view and a view to show the canvas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was thrilled that it was selected for the exhibit, and also featured on the event poster.<\/p>\n\n\n
