Tea bags, wax resist, dye and embroidery on tea bags

​

Leaves, embroidery, dye, ink and tea bags on fabric

​

Leaves dried naturally over years, sewn onto a large piece of fabric with tea bags and dye added to suggest the forest floor. Ageing gave the leaves a leathery texture and appearance - patterns on some leaves have been enhanced with ink.

Over and Under

​

Outliner, bleach discharge, dye and embroidery on tea bags

​

This piece was created using a draft on the canvas which was turned over and finalized on the reverse. The result is a delightful effect, with elements of the reverse seen in the background.
