Winter Brambles

This miniature sculpture won the La Tessitura Mantero prize at the Art & Art Minitextile Exhibition, Lake Como, Italy

Mixed media, Hand made fabric, free machine embroidery and glass
20 cms x 20 cms x 20 cms approx
£850

The leaves shown in this detail are individually made of bridal net and then wired into place one by one. I thought the fragility of the net suggested the skeletal quality of the frozen leaves.
