Here's the companion piece to the embroidered sunflower piece! It's from several years ago, when I was deep into black gesso and copper wire and metals of all kinds.
Quite small, it's the top of a wooden cigar box, upturned, covered with black gesso, and with a sawblade I found in the street, natural twigs and a piece of shiny paper for the center, attached with copper wire, and with a copper ink drawing, creating a sunflower. Quite a contrast in approach from the stitched and dyed piece. Thought you'd enjoy seeing this.
This and the embroidered and dyed sunflower will appear together.
I don't know which one I like better! I've always been a fan of rusty things and I like the recycled aspect of this too.
