Flower Power for Susan by Nellie
I was the fourth contributor to Susan of Spokane's "Flower Power" themed Exquisite Corpse piece. My work blends into the edge of Arlee's section, but hardly into Susan's. Aargh! I wish I had been more attentive to that edge. It's now up to Susan to meld our work together.
I used my "ortwork" collage technique. I constructed it separately from Susan's whole piece. It consists of silk flowers, "bits & pieces", and roving collaged over a hand-painted background fabric plus a thin batting layer. Tulle netting and free-motion quilting holds it all together.
A bit more quilting secures it to Susan's large piece. I have been among such an array of wild flowers on a sunny blue skied day and have definitely felt their "power".
