Liatris, sometimes called gayfeather, is an unusual perennial that blooms from the top down. Paul and I saw this little bright little patch on our morning walk.
One of my favorite discoveries during the Swirls of Color class was invisible thread. I knew about it...but had never used it. And now, thanks to Isobel, I know how easy it is to use and how versatile it is. I'm a huge fan!
I've had this little rainbow piece hanging around since I took the fusing class way back in 2016. It's made from multiple layers of hand dyed fabric strips and has gone through severals revisions and I wrote about its start in this post:
But today I started adding some accent fibers using invisible thread and I think it's just what it needed to pull it together and add a little texture. I'm just getting started....but want to choose carefully and be mindful of when it's time to stop. It's getting there.
The piece is small....only about 6 x 8 and it will look good matted in a black frame.
We had Liatris in our garden and were happy to find that honey bees loved visiting them.
ReplyDeleteLove seeing and reading about your adventure with Isobel. :-)
I love anything that attracts the bees. I feel like my adventure with Isobel is just beginning!
