So, it's onwards and upwards with more things for the Danish show. I can’t claim that this one is 100% original – it was inspired by a card someone sent me years ago, but the artist’s name wasn’t on it so I don’t know who came up with the idea in the first place. But I re-drew it and made a lot of changes to it so although some of the original idea still remains, I hope I will be allowed to post it as (mostly) my own work. It’s a nice little folk-arty design that turned out quite well
Not as flashy as he might be…
Unfortunately, what you can’t see from the scan is that it’s made with gold and silver lamé as the applique fabrics – gold for the body and silver for the wings. And the mane and tail are stitched with metallic thread. It’s a real pity that you can’t see all the glittering threads and fabric, as they add a lot of interest to the design. But you can get the full effect when you see the real thing, so I hope it will come across well at the exhibition
Hi Mia, This is a very creative and imaginative design! I bet it looks spectacular with the gold and silver lame and metallic threads. I wish we could see the elegance these fabrics and threads lend to the overall effect of the design. The muted pale green and yellow colors of the background really add to the fantasy of the winged horse.
Very interesting and different! It’s always a disappointment to take a photo of something that has interesting features and find that it can’t be captured on camera. This is sure to be a success at your show!
Mia, you may have gotten an idea to do a horse from someone else, but as usual you put your own finishing touch to him. It is a shame that the gold and silver lame’ don’t show up in pics as they do in real life.
Mia, what a cute design. Too bad the picture doesn’t do it justice with the gold and silver lame you used.
