Finished this textile collage of snippets from Suffolk. I used a photo montage type approach and raided my collection of fabrics. Really pleased I managed to use a piece of acrylic painted fabric I'd had for ages. It was not very beautiful but it did the job for the beach texture - there you are, never throw anything away! I've framed the piece and covered the mount in calico now. To complete the recycled theme John made it a rather nice oak frame from our old oak door, which has now been ressurected as three oak windowsills in the house as well.
The collage was made as a present for a friend with a significant birthday. The features in the piece are The House in the Clouds, Thorpeness, Southwold beach huts, Sizewell seagulls and a rather ghostly stitched Leiston Abbey.
