Since I began to garden a number of years ago, I have been captivated by seedheads. I photograph them outdoors and some I then collect to keep them in vases and jars. I decided to have a go at recreating some seedheads in thread and fabric and here is my first attempt. I'm sure there will be more experiments as I particularly enjoyed this way of working.
Try as I might, I cannot photographically capture the true colours of this piece! I tried outdoors but even that didn't look right, so this will have to suffice.
Close-ups give better results and a more accurate depiction of the subtle colour scheme.
I like the piece in its round embroidery hoop, so I'm going to leave it as it is and hang it upon the wall like this - so, looks like I'll be needing new hoops....
