April's Journal Quilt

Looking back I found that I had not posted my April Journal Quilt!

Sticking to my "whatever is around me" theme, I felt the only option had to be based on weddings, after all we'd all gained an extra Bank Holiday so it was worth celebrating just for that!

For some time I have been interested in mixed media work but never had the occasion to actually do it so I thought this could be the occasion. All made from bits and pieces found in and around my workroom, the various layers were put on a base of silk. Different elements include lace, printed tissuetex, odd pieces of lace, netting, printed fabrics, batik, gold 'leather', heart shaped buttons, punched bells and of course a 'wedding ring'.












I really enjoyed creating this and will definitely be having another go at mixed media.
