Cobi has recently received her June page from me. I had been lamentably late in sending it.
Cobi's theme was Art Nouveau. This is one of my favourite books on the subject. I just love the wealth of detail and the beautiful lines of Art Nouveau. The ISBN for this particular book is 978-1-84451-265-2. I find it an excellent source book for images. Published by Flame Tree Publishing, it is one of a rather useful series of titles, all linked to artists or periods in Art History.
I used this particular photograph as my starting point.
This is the information given by the book.
Now, my own interpretation. It is simply applique using a brown fabric over a beautifully marked printed fabric from my stash. The bottom fabric looks almost like water. I overlaid this with a fine gauze, then added beads.
For the reverse of the piece, I used another image from the same book.
Isn't this a wonderful screen? The book gave the following information.
My own version of a small section, looked like this.
It is FME over gauze. I used water soluble fabric to stabilise the piece until I appliqued it to the pocket on the back of the page.
I have now just posted my July page, on the theme of Windows.
