Work in progress - the final season

Near my house on the Essex/Suffolk border there is a most glorious bluebell wood. I have been longing to do a piece of textile work based on this for such a long time. It is a bit of a cliche and has been done many times but here is the first step in my interpretation.

This started as a piece of white wholecloth which now has a rollered impressionistic background using procion dye pastes. The plan is to add text on top, then lots of stitch. Watch here to see how it progresses...................................
