This was a piece of heavy red silk drapery fabric. About 2 years ago I layered on some yarn and velvet, and tiny shreds of cotton fabrics. Then I covered it with green netting, and did a lot of machine free motion stitching on it. It laid on the table for a long time, then I hand stitched it with embroidery floss, to make some shapes. Then I added silk roving, more yarn, threads, and much more machine stitching. Then I did more hand stitching on it, and couched on some yarns. Yesterday I layered it with cotton batting, with some double layers, to add a trapunto effect. And I did more machine stitching. Then I trimmed the edges, and bound it. I think the next step will involve beads. And more embroidery floss. It's about 15 inches square.
