The background is a piece of a vintage quilt --I have a whole basket of cutter quilt pieces that I just did not know what to do with and well now I do! These just reminded me of fish so they will forever swim in the background of an imaginary fabric coral reef.
The fabric scraps make up the coral reef with a mermaid peeking out.
The small yo-yos were hand cut and stitched with small blue glass beads forming bubbles across this underwater landscape.
The backing material is a beautiful ocean landscape and has a small rod panel (I will put up a pic tomorrow as apparently I forgot to snap one!) And my close up is just terrible sooo....you will have to wait till I have light!
I think this turned out wonderful I am very surprised of myself and I like the quilted background look. The vintage quilt has small wears and tears from it's age and I left them alone choosing to allow them to just be a part of the whole image.
Again made from fabric scraps!
This is appx 14"H x 14"L
