Silver Thistle

2019 / 110 x 87 cm / machine patched and hand appliquéd, machine and hand quilted

In wintertime the silver thistles shine upon the dry forestground. The glimmer of the blossom is from pearl to silver. The seeds are like a multitude of little dark balls in silverthreads and the leaves of the blossoms are each made separate and appliqued in just a few points. Special japanese fabric is used for the background in the colors of a winter forestground. Very old fabric buttons are the seeds in stripes of silk organza.
