I want to experiment a little more with Angelina, and want to recreate the reflective qualities of water.
Peacock colours fibres, pale blue, dark blue and silver Angelina fibres were laid between two sheets of Baking paper. A quick pass over with a coolish iron to bond and voila, reflective shimming “fabric” ready for cutting.
In the past I have had difficulty getting the Angelina to stay, so I gluestiked it down, instead of using fusible webbing. The less amount of heat to Angelina the better.
I draw a ripple design onto A5 paper and cut the Angelina “fabric” to fit the ripples. Smoke monofilament threat straight stitched the Angelina onto a mottled blue/gray fabric scrap.
Some silver “hologram” fabric became the splash and a scrap of brown fabric, the rock. Free Motion Embroidery using “Lana Wool” thread to give the rock definition, and then blue variegated thread around the edge of the splash and the Angelina highlights.
Not quite the big splash I was wanting. Perhaps a lone planet in a solar system of it’s own. What do you think?

Very effective! Looks just like the ripples a pebble might make when thrown into the water.
