This week's challenge is to create a picture using sheer fabrics. I've got a bit of a thing for these lovely diaphanous materials and they crop up in a lot of my work. My stash includes several two-tone organzas which shimmer and change colour as they move.
Here I've used a two-tone red and black mixed with a rich brown to build up my flowers (dahlias, in case you're wondering). The areas of overlap provide extra depth and texture. I've used a two-tone green and black for the leaves because it offers a more natural colour to the alternative, monochrome organza. The picture is built up, one piece at a time and with hind-sight I might have started with a more organic background before stitching the features.
