Appleton wool and stranded cotton on canvas

6 x 9 inches

Canvaswork was used in a basic form on medieval vestments and furnishings. I have used this technique to blend colours in a design that creates a realistic effect, depth and movement. This piece was worked on an open weave (18 point) canvas. This technique can be used for seat covers and rugs.
