new inspiration
I felt compelled to take photo after photo of Cow Parsley while on a trip to the Peak District in August.
They were passed their best but I was inspired by them and I they called out to be used as a focus on some painted fabrics that have been hanging around for a while. ( I really couldn't put more birds on them again, could I?)

What a stunning interpretation of cow parsley.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteWonderful interpretation of the cow parsley. We have something like that, not sure what it is called.
ReplyDeleteI got some nice photos of fall flowers and thistles on our last walk, would be fun to try some art pieces with them.

lovely!
ReplyDeleteWe call it Queen Anne's Lace here in Pennsylvania and I find it equally fascinating. Your interpretation certainly captures it. Is the detail part of the larger stitched fabric above it or is it an entirely new background piece?
ReplyDeletethey are striking aren't they both when in full flower and the skeletal remains at the years end. Like Honesty and poppy seed pods they have an intriguing calm to them.
ReplyDeleteWonder if they were ever used to dye with then lol or to poison Mothers!
Great photo and great stitching - never heard Cow Parsley called that though! Going to walk around it cautiously next time I see it!
ReplyDeleteThank you Georgina!
DeleteI love cow's parsley! Want to make a piece with this for ages! Love the way you stitched that on!

DeleteYour work is stunning! We call it Queen Anne's Lace here in Canada too.
