I wanted to try doing a long landscape piece. I was going to put a farmhouse and sheep on it but it seemed to cry out for something bigger. The foxgloves this year have been awesome and they were my starting point. I rolled the fabric around my fingers to get the shape. I had completed most of the flowers when I realised the fabric I had used was not the right colour.
The hunt was on then for some new colour fabric and after about six visits to charity shops in Herefordshire I found the perfect blouse. The challenge was to get the dark pink in exactly the right place when I rolled it. I left the leaves fairly loose and added tiny seed beads to the inside of the flowers.
It is framed in my living room now and will live with me for a while.
