Although I'm still waiting for my sari ribbon and fibers to arrive, I worked quite differently with this piece than I have in the past. A little more free form and concentrated more on 'thread painting', adding organza and other textural elements with beads, and embroidery thread and sewing in other fibers.
First some just for fun macros -
Below is a photograph above and a scan below - the scan is the most recent and almost finished piece.
And here it is on paper, digitally -
I've already decided on my next project - it's hopefully.....fingers crossed, going to be a painting of my daughter's cat - Paris and the next in line after that is a painting of her girlfriend. These are, as you can see! drafts of the photographs 'altered' digitally which I have found helpful in the past to start envisioning the final piece.
Thanks for visiting!!!!!!!

I just love, LOVE that skinny page. Frankly, it would make a great postcard and you could just, oh say, pop it in the mail and send it over to Wisconsin, you know. :)Bea
Those are just gorgeous! Beautiful colors and textures! I just saw your button on the Nick Bantock exhibit, and thought you might like to see my post on something inspired by his trilogy.

Oh, I so love what you do with textiles - it´s like magic! And they turn to digital pieces as well.
Your work is stunning!
Wow, so colourful and full of interest. Love it!
Oh! The colors are fabulous. I especially love the baby blue. The entire piece is so rich looking. If you don't mind my asking, what kind of material did you print your digital image on before sewing? It almost looks like canvas. I really love this one.
Your daughter is beautiful and I'm anxious to see results of the digital you create for her. I'm wondering if you will use those new fibers you got online. Yummy.
Hi there! I found your blog via Lisa (wrightstuff), I absolutely love this piece! The colours, everything!
Beautiful work

great pieces Trudi.. you have such a fabulous visionllove your ideas for the WIP pieces and your fiber work is really sensational.
I sent you a message that if you have not received my fiber, I'll pop another in the mail. xo
Trudi, this is beautiful. The colors are just amazing. Do you ratchet up the colors when you print? It seems as if you do. I love this! - Kathy
Trudi . . . this piece is spectacular!!! I love your "more free form thread painting" approach. The texture, the colors, the stitching, the beading - WOW. i am in love with this skinny page, truly! it sings to me.

The colours and textures in the macros are wonderful Trudi, I love those shots. Great translation from the digital images to the textile piece.
