The background here is virtually obscured but it was a heavy furnishing fabric with roses that has been free-machine quilted. Additional layers consisted of vintage lace, hand painted fabric, another furnishing fabric and then finally the digitally manipulated picture, made on my computer and printed out onto a silk fabric. The bride is one of my own beloved vintage images and the graveyard picture was taken in Newlands graveyard nearby.
The text of the poem was also printed onto fabric, layered with metal and fabric and additional embellishments were then sewn on. Around the edges of the binding is my signature beading with size 11 seed beads.
