About “Lady Slipper Pink” Artwork:
“Tropical Garden: Lady Slipper Pink” is a captivating exploration of tropical flora, meticulously crafted using couture techniques to capture the sophisticated beauty of nature. This textile artwork merges tambour stitching, needlework, and goldwork to depict a stunning stumpwork orchid surrounded by segments showcasing various embroidery methods. Traditional pearl embroidery is reimagined with hand-twisted cotton and chenille yarns, complemented by glass and natural stone beads.
The orchid itself is a blend of cotton, silk, and synthetic threads, while flat segments feature a harmonious fusion of materials including sequins, beads, velvet, French wire, lace, mesh, and hand-dyed silk ribbons. Each element contributes to the artwork’s depth and texture, creating a truly immersive experience for the viewer.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire one of my original artworks, as I typically do not sell them.
