I painted the background onto cotton fabric using acrylic paints. I then added details using free machine embroidery enhancing the texture and depth of the piece.

Thanks everyone for your lovely comments.
Hi Lala86 – The size is approx 50cm square.
Hi Gray – Just getting used to how to do all this – but hope to put some more pics on here soon. My next project is recycling an old sheet and bits of trim which I have dyed – hoping to make a flared gypsy skirt and possibly a top to match. I like to do all sorts, knitiing, crochet, weaving, dressmaking, silk painting and beading. Making some embroidered bags at the moment.

I love this textile piece- it has a 3D quality and the colours are so vibrant it reminded me of a filed of poppies that I walked through in Yorkshire this summer.
