fractal (ˈfræktəl) | |
| — n | |
| 1. | a figure or surface generated by successive subdivisions of asimpler polygon or polyhedron, according to some iterative process |
I have been intrigued with fractals for a long time. When looking at fractals, I envision islands, thus my creation Fractal Island.
The main fractal portion is covered in a fine wire mesh.That I embroidered, painted and sewed through.
There is a cluster of seed beads that follow the spiral. Lastly, trapunto was used to give the piece 3-dimension.
This has been a fun challenge!

WOW! I love the colours - now I have to go back and have a long, lingering look!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind comment. Once I got the center piece done, I lingered over what to do for the background.
DeleteWonderful! Great colours & texture
ReplyDeleteThanks, Karrie!
DeleteThis is beautiful and holds a lot of talented needlework. I love the way it's raised. Now I have to go "google" trumpunto!
ReplyDeleteOK- so I can't spell, it is trapunto. I am not the master of quilters, but I believe that trapunto was big in the 80's. Essentially, you put a little stuffing in from the back side of a quilt. Here is a link:

But you CAN spell. There is "trumpunto" listed as well! It seems to be a Japanese version of the same technique. Whatever the technique is called, it's beautifully executed!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Gladys!
DeleteWhat dimension and colour. The challenge has been met and interpreted in a very fun way. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Janet! I am all about the fun of it!
