Distressed planet Earth in textiles

Just a quick post with photos of my distressed piece completed this week















The piece represents the rising tide element of global warming ... melting ice pushing water levels up combined with distress. I used distressed materials to represent distress caused by global warming, distress to our planet, looking particularly at distressed holes and layers, perhaps holes in our ozone layer which is a contributing factor to climate change















I describe the process in the previous post. On top of my distressed fabrics I have added irridescent snowflakes and french knots in a thick variegated rayon ribbon, cotton threads and metallic threads















I was thinking of adding even more detail to the surface embellishment with more french knots and beads but I think they would be lost in the piece, which is already full of irridescent shimmeryness, colours and textures

I'm really pleased with the watery (and earthy) colours and textures in the piece
