Heartsease

This is a page from my sketchbook.















Jen and I (Jen is my daughter) both sat in my garden and sketched these heartsease flowers.

Jen's picture is bottom right.

I made this interpretation using handmade paper with added coloured tissue paper and metallic paints.

I added beads and bead netting, couched knitting ribbon and some long straight stitches in black crochet cotton.

Here is closeup.
