Creating the Red Paradise Bird Fragment

In the summer, I was loaned another fabulous sari from a friend, and have done some sketches from the woven borders and embroidered/embellished sections. I have recently completed a commission based on these new images as well.

Border details and Peacock with flamboyant head feathers!

Stage 1 of the fragment. I have used hand made paper again, plus oil paint, and gold enamel paint.

Final addition of oil pastel, to be followed by the final resin coat and framing!
