Tapestry in Green

I am on a new kick! I have discovered needlepoint canvas as a form of embellishment. I painted Steam-a-Seam with lumiere paints and then I ironed it to the canvas. I quilted the purple fabric and sewed the canvas on top. Then I did my stitching by hand. This may have been a mistake as it would have been much easier to stitch through the canvas and then attach it to the quilt!
I added beads and the thing in the upper left hand corner is Tyvek which I painted and melted with a heat gun. I also added glitter glue for some sparkle. The scroll in the lower right corner is soy silk fiber that I rolled and attached with yarn and beads.

I did some machine stitching on the canvas before attaching it - the top row of green. I braided some fibers and couched them to create the second row and I beaded the third row. Lots of fun and the possibilities are endless. I have two more in the works.
