Layers and layers


Off work today so I completed my wallhanging for Module Three, having made some adjustments to the first version and taken note of Sian's comments about allowing movement.
This is the original centre "panel".
I couched a copper spiral shape in the centre disc and printed the word "spiral" on the radiating strips. At Sian's suggestion, I added the gold stitching to all 6 "wheels".
I painted and stamped a square canvas
I added a backing square of fabric at 45 degree angle to the central section. I added loosely-coiled copper wire spirals and wriggly gold wire twirls and couched them lightly.
I finished off with directional brush strokes with an almost dry brush in broad sweeps across both fabric and canvas areas.
