This work was inspired by a local Staffordshire landscape.I worked in a series of 4 embroideries, working on them all at once, this is a new process for me and I am enjoying the advantages of working in this way. I collaged the background using a mixture of breakdown printed fabric, (the Trees), hand dyed and printed fabrics, various papers, tissue paper and threads.I used many textile techniques

I just love how it unrolls to reveal this rainbow of colours, all neatly organized of course 😅🌈 How do you organize yours? . . . . #handembroidery #embroiderythreads #rainbowofcolours #lovecolour #getorganised #sewingsupplies #alison_whateley_design"
