The base pattern appeared on my blog some months ago however it was only a few weeks ago I started to work into the pattern after I printed it onto silk.
The base pattern was a digital manipulation of a watercolour of the sea I painted and the pink a happy accident as I feel like it highlights the green moss like patterns which represent the moss covered walls of Venice. Ive accentuated the moss by means of machine embroidery and then taken a drawing of one of the many churches I sketched and free machine embroidered them onto the fabrics using the stone like tones. The windows appear to be crumbling into the sea, reflecting the plight of Venice today.
