This is my completed piece, "Blue Moon".
The full moon is especially potent and magical.
The features of this moon were free cut from a remnant of polyester chiffon in hombre blues and applied to the surface with a single strand of silk sewing thread to keep it floaty and something of a suggestion. The background, or black-ground, is cotton velveteen with black paisley jacquard applique. I used a polyester bat for loft and to add dimension to the moon. Everything was hand stitched, right down to my little craters on the bright underside of the moon.
I started by cutting a hole for the moon in the velveteen. Then I stitched the chiffon to the back and ended up with a transparent moon. It is still transparent and glows when held up to a light source.
This is my first larger-size piece, 16.5"x 21.5" approximate, thanks to Cinda, who gave me the final push to the finish line. <3
