This week I( want to try and stretch my creative abilities and use some “found” objects picked up during my four week road trip of the South Island.
Using some pink knit fabric, I quilted in a random “swirl pattern between the slashed sections. This raised the slashes.

Wove some pink varigated novelty yarn through the slashes. Wove 3, but decided 4 looked better.

Secured 3 kowhai pods, by couching between the pod nodules with bright pink thread. Used some other seeds I picked up, they remind me of butterflies. These were secured with Weldbond, and when dry, a few winds of metallic thread around the middle, to catch the light.


I enjoyed the simplicity of this project.
