Back to Venice, which to me is always bathed in sunlight. Design wise this is a very simply layout and I had planned to add more elements to it but the quilt told me to stop it and I did. Simple can be good some times and this was one of those times. The images are printed on self-adhesive cotton sheets from Crafty Computer Paper and the large image is further decorated with fine gold hand stitching. The borders around the images are gold binding strip which have Bondaweb pre-applied so you can simply iron them on. I've also added beads to this strip for the large image as well as a beautiful vintage glass button. To every corner of the small images I sewed a green button made from shells.
The background is a greenish fabric which looks like devore, but isn't. I bought it at a street market in The Netherlands and it was way too cheap for that. I have the suspicion it's actually polyester. It was quite flightly to work with anyway. But it looks like devore and the machine stitching keeps it under control nicely.
