Silk and Wool Landscapes - Beth Berman


I got the idea for these from a woman who stitched layers of fabric together with decorative stitches. I thought about landscapes because I had already started a landscape series with batiked fabrics. These landscapes were matted and framed at 4.75 inches square.



Acid dyed silks and a few wools



My palette


Wool/Acrylic thread (Madeira Lana)


Sunrise




Summer time


In a 9" square shadow box frame


Moonlight



These lead me to the deconstructed screens and thermofax work I wrote about Friday. I love how one thing leads to another.

I would love it if you would continue to follow me in my journey on my blog:
