A Barn Owl floats softly over the moonlit water of the Kyle of Sutherland in the Scottish Highlands. Inspired by the landscape, dark skies, big moons & Barn Owls from where I stay in Sutherland in the Scottish Highlands.
This piece is created using the method of cyanotype printing (sun printing) onto fabric using both wet & dry methods. I quite often use salt and turmeric when using this method which produces both interesting texture & colours. I have combined this with bleach printing and then collaged the fabrics together, once the collage is complete I have monoprinted using botanicals and fabric inks over the surface and then embroidered over the whole piece using freemotion and hand embroidery techniques, incorporating machine and hand dyed threads. The final piece is hand stitched to mount board and framed using a double mount & glazed with a white wood frame.
