Based on a photo my sister took a few years ago at the Point-No-Point Resort on Vancouver Island. It was a challenge to take this photo and make is abstract and yet recognizable. Using my own hand dyed fabrics is important to me. I am more of a mixed media artist than a quilter so I had to add a non-traditional element with the "aged" paper I found a few months ago on a walk. I fused it to chiffon as a backing with tulle overtop and then stitched it to the background fabric..

Techniques: hand dyed fabric, aged paper fused to chiffon and net, fused raw edge applique, free motion quitting. The binding is turned entirely to the back as a facing.
