..... and this is how it turned out. I've had to put it on the floor to photograph it as I envisage it being hung from hooks on a wall. As my theme was the hose pipe ban in the North West of England I used a piece of hose pipe through the fabric loops which would then hang from the hooks.
I wanted to use spiral wires to suspend the blue parts so it looks as if they where floating over the background but when I came to hold it up they flopped so I had to stitch some beads occasionally to hold them on to the background but I still think it works.

I used hand dyed cotton in blues and greens then machine stitched blue organza on top. I cut the shapes out then used my soldering iron to cut away parts of the organza to show the fabric underneath before attaching to stiff adhesive backed fabric.

The background is hand dyed then I discharged spirals before machine stitching in the space in between. I was going to gather the fabric but it didn't work so I undid it.
