A felted and embroidered landscape, stitched as my interpretation of a lovely painting by a fellow Etsian. A tranquil, lakeside pathway, bordered by beautiful flowers.
Based on a lovely, miniature painting from Etsy shop Teabreaks, http://www.etsy.com/shop/teabreaks (http://www.etsy.com/listing/100377432/aceo-original-landscape) and 'copied' by kind permission of the artist.
Sky blue wool fibers (from Etsy shop - http://www.etsy.com/shop/lazykate) have been felted to a background of kunin felt (produced from recycled plastic bottles) using an embellisher machine. Additional hand-dyed fibres, including some lovely Wensleydale tops, have been added to 'paint' the landscape. Embroidery, in tapestry wool, has been used to add texture and provide the detail of distant trees and hedgerows and the blossomed tree and lakeside flowers
