For the past few weeks I've been working on a selection of less arty and more crafty things, intending to take them round to a local craft shop. But when I did, they said that they already had quite a lot of cushions and bags in their stock, and rather to my surprise they were more interested in things to hang on the wall. So I've been working, not on conventional things to frame, but what you could call wall-hangings – that is, textiles intended to hang up rather like tapestries.
I quite like these wall-hangings because they're soft and touchable, and not locked away behind glass. Here's the first one of what might be a series. It's made up of nine separate 5 x 7 inch panels, so the total dimensions are something like 21 x 27 inches. The only problem with these things as far as I'm concerned it that the separate parts need to be sewn together, something I'm not all that good at, as you can see! But this is supposed to be handwork after all, and maybe practice will make perfect, and I'll slowly get better at it
Next thing you know you’ll be making art quilts!
Hi Mia, This is a phenomenal piece of artwork that anyone would love hanging on their wall. The colors that you chose would also fit almost any color decor. Birds or other animals are a favorite of people and your birds and animals are always spectacular.
Love this! To hang on my wall you’d need to use more muted a color for the framing but others are really into vibrant colors. I have an idea about attaching the parts and I’ll message you that idea.
Mia, I love your wall hanging. Especially the middle panel in the 2nd row. It looks like the one bird is taking up space from the other bird. Thank you so much for sharing the finished product with us.
