About this item
A distinctive bookmark featuring a landscape of iris pools and sheep meadows, painted and stitched onto fabric and backed with felt. Fabric paints were used to paint a basic meadows and sky landscape onto white fabric, allowing the adjacent areas of wet paint to merge and blend. This portion of painted fabric suggested pools in a water meadow. The design was enhanced with some very simple embroidery featuring yellow flag irises and tiny sheep. A fine sewing cotton has been used to blanket stitch around the edge of the bookmark which has been backed with a second layer of felt. The bookmark has been completed by the addition of green ribbon tails. Length of embroidered panel - 13 cm approx. Total length - 21 cm approx. Please note: items from Lynwoodcrafts are intended for adults. This item is unsuitable for children under 3 years of age since it contains small parts which may represent a choking hazard.

I have been experimenting with various types of fabric paint, crayons and dyes. I revisited some panels of hand painted fabric. The blending of the colours on this bookmark suggested the outline of pools and also the tree line on the horizon. I stitched to accentuate the painting.
