As I continue to make the various parts of this collage, I am pinning them to the velvet rose fabric just to see how they look together.
Red Rose fabric 13-09-17
This velvet has been dyed for the background to my next hummingbird collage. When I lived on San Juan Island in Washington State I grew many honeysuckle vines for my Rufus Hummingbirds to feast on.

Snow in Summer with Jewel Colours 29-08-17
Seeing the high Himalayan flowers as fragments of colour bursting through a blanket of snow, was a strange and wonderful experience. This video gives you a glimpse of the Chola Shan in high summer with very unexpected weather.
Croscosmia and Anna reflected 24-08-17
A very challenging piece of dye-work creating the reflection of both hummingbird and crocosmia. I used Disperse dyes painted onto paper and then heat transferred onto fabric.
