This is an interesting little piece. It’s not that I don’t remember making it, but I don’t remember making it that clearly. I think I made it to use the egg shape to make the vase:
I then filled the vase with flowers cut, like the egg, with my sizzix machine:
I cut the leaves freehand:
The piece is on the reverse of a piece of furnishing fabric from the eighties which is incredibly ugly on the front, and scraps of silk. It really came to life with the acrylic gems in the centre of the flowers.
It’s very loosely based on those fantastic 17th-century Dutch genre paintings
I love these blousey, virtuoso pieces.
Because the pieces were cut from bondawebbed silk using my sizzix dye cutter it was a very quick piece to do. Limited amount of skill on display here.
