Design Source - Description | Based on WIzard of Oz, design composition inspiration was posters of Alphonse Mucha and the 1930's movie, resulting in an almost cubist interpretation. I used my own cruder vesion of Joan Colvin's fabric collage technique for the trees and hand painted Dorothy and the corner figures. Also incorporates couched yarn, thread painting, confetti collage and machine applique. The background is semi-impressionistic/watercolor technique, using 1.5 inch finished size squares |
