When this
theme was announced there was only one thing that appeared in my mind. It was
our plot with olive trees and the view from our house in Greece. This really is the place to
which I can escape and use my time to all the things that make me happy and
creative and with very little "musts".
I chose to
make a piece showing the wonderful view
I can enjoy and look at every day when I am there with the olive trees in the
foreground and the Messenia Gulf and the
peninsula, on the other side of the Gulf with the high mountain top, the Prophet Elias, 2400 meters over above sea level.
The background is whole cloth, painted with Dye-na-Flow paint and four patches are sun printed with Dye-na -flow paint, screen printing ink and fabric paint with letter masks made from freezer paper with the letters esc , as the word esc on the PC keyboard.
On top of
this I have printed some olive trees on ExtravOrganza and fused them using white Misty
fuse.The background is whole cloth, painted with Dye-na-Flow paint and four patches are sun printed with Dye-na -flow paint, screen printing ink and fabric paint with letter masks made from freezer paper with the letters esc , as the word esc on the PC keyboard.
Finally the piece is quilted with running stitches and seed stitches with cotton and metallic threads. In order to emphasize the trees I put some paint with Shiva paint sticks on top of the embroidery stitches on top of the trees.
