Jan Beaney workshop

I was fortunate to get onto Jan's Course at Dilham Art Centre earlier this month. we spent one day working on creating bark like backgrounds of scrim and thread and Chiffon worked on wool fabric and then worked  lots of hand stitches. I haven't done a lot of hand stitching but found this free way of working created fantastic textures. The lighting doesn't show the real colours well, I must get some photographic tips.
I am still working this piece and will post when done
