My usual layered approach, where organza layers enclose fabric scraps, and sometimes fibres. Sandwiched together with machine embroidery, to create a large leaf shape, ready for folding and sewing into a purse.
I decided on a subtle colour scheme of olive greens and browns.
The jagged machine embroidery has evolved from sketchbook work, exploring pattern potential inspired from leaves, combined with mark-making experiments. Often these patterns ‘like’ to come through in my drawings.
