land(marks) earth pleiades
this is my piece for the latest International Art Quilt Challenge: it was my turn to choose the theme - land(marks).

i needlefelted alpaca fleece from local breeders, Melrose Alpacas (thanks Fiona!) onto silk chiffon and then machine stitched with silk thread. It was eucalypt dyed and handstitched onto the black linen background with silk, perle 8 and stranded cotton.

Lovely piece, Lisette. It really gives the impression of red earth. Landmarks was a great theme to work to, I could have done a number of quilts based on that theme alone.
thank you - it's a recurring image for me. central australia is a haunting place :)
I told you on your blog already *s*, but I do love this piece - love all that texture and how it's like an aerial view - and your stitching is luscious!
