Irka's Gingko

Here's the finished piece I started in Summer School. I managed to get it finished in time to put up at the Summer exhibition for my local creative textiles group (Stitches Coven) in August - hoorah! As well a adding a small amount of stitch I tried to integrate the pieces more by carrying over some lines/details to neighbouring pieces with inktense blocks, inktense pencils and also the odd dab of gesso.

Before stitch etc

The Finished piece - Irka's Gingko

I'm really quite pleased with it (if you are allowed to say so about your own work!) and enjoyed working with a more limited colour pallette. I've also enjoyed the 'assemblage' approach and imagine I will be utilising that a lot in future work.
