Fabric and or fibre is this weeks JFF theme. I decided to use both. The background is a piece of muslin which has been stamped with acrylic paint. I heat transferred an image onto another piece of muslin which I frayed around all four edges. I used a large zig-zag stitch to attach the thick piece of wool down the right hand side. I unravelled a dyed silk carrier rod and using free motion sewing, attached it and added a piece of ribbon across the middle. I left the threads so I could attach the button. I stamped the word dream and added gems. Down the left hand side I added a piece of deep green silk organza, once it was attached I blasted it with the heat gun. Finally I added a piece of lime green ribbon to hang.
