Blackberry Feast
This piece is being exhibited at Cotehele Gallery (Nation Trust), if you are interested in purchasing this piece please email me first at nsl.lupton@googlemail.com
Having climbed up from the woodland floor, into a nearby hedgerow, this woodmouse immerses itself in Blackberries. The berries are dark, sweet and juicy, just perfect for the picking. It sits happily gorging its way through the delicious feast.
A number of techniques and mediums were used in the creation of this piece. The background is fabric painted and the mouse, blackberries and leaves were achieved through quilting, applique, embroidery, techniques. These techniques create the different textures from the soft warm fur of the mouse to the juicy berries. Unfortunately, the three-dimensional relief doesn't show particularly well in the photos, so please take a look at the depth of the piece to get an idea of the overall effect.
