In May, FAN is debuting a Fibrescapes - concurrent with the CQA/ACC National Juried Show - in Pentiction, BC. This show will be available to travel for two years. |
| The flowers are my photos: printed on silk, fused to a second layer of silk, free motion stitched, cut out and hand sewn to the prepared background. |
 |
| I added beads for detail and depth. There was also a blue-green insect visiting several of the flowers ... I had never seen it before. |
Mariposa Lily:
Calochortus is a Greek word meaning 'beautiful grass',
however the flowers grow from a bulb. Mariposa is a Spanish word meaning
'butterfly' and refers to the evanescent quality of the petals and unique
markings on the flowers. My photos were taken on a semi desert grassland hill
near Oliver, BC. The actual flower size is about 2" on a 8-10" stalk.
