Caloplaca thallincola II 

This textural work was inspired by lichen growing within the spray zone on the rocky shoreline, an area where it is particularly difficult for any organisms to grow. My studies are not intended to be direct facsimiles, instead I take inspiration from their form, colour and patterns and interpret that in my felt and stitch work. Handcrafted felt was made using the wet felting technique with layers of Merino and Blue-faced Leicester wool fibres and silk. Finished with free motion and hand embroidery. 

Professionally framed in a beautiful bare faced oak wooden frame with a double mount board which I have written the title of the work and signed. The frame is a good quality, solid oak which has been not been varnished so the natural grain compliments the work. Ready to hang. An authentication label which I have also signed along with description is included.

Overall Frame Size 20 x 20 cm

Actual work size 10 x 10 cm
