For Paint Party Friday
I am sharing
Imagine Peace.
It is hand dyed fabric and also
painted with oil pastels
and watercolor crayons.
I also used paper fabric, beads
and free motion quilting.
The face was painted on a piece of muslin
with watercolor crayons.
Here it is pinned to my design board.
Below is a close up of the face.
I sewed leaf beads around part of her forehead.
The next picture shows detail at the bottom.
I stenciled the words on with oil pastels.
The little butterfly on the 'A' is just stamped on.
I stenciled/stamped/painted on some flowers here and there,
and some tiny blue birds in the canopy of the tree.
The stars are stenciled and then I used metallic thread on top
to bring them out a bit more.
The tree goddess roots and canopy
form the peace symbol,
as shown in the first picture above.
This fiber art piece will be entered in a show
in September for the Fiber Art Society
that I belong to.
The show is
"Much Made from Small Pieces" A World View.
This piece measures 24 inches by 34 inches.

This is wonderful. Wish I could see all the pieces in this exhibit, I'll bet it's going to be fabulous. Good Luck!
Gorgeous and wonderful details!
So lovely, Yvonne, and with so much meaning. I love the flow of the tree, especially in the trunk. There's movement there, uncommon in tree trunks, of course, but this is not a common tree! :)
this is wonderful - so many techniques and medium in one piece!
Wow! This is really great. So beautiful! Love the techniques you used. Really unique and meaningful.
