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

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.
