The third in my Up Close and Personal series...."Peeling Birch." As usual, it is shown below alongside its photo inspiration. It does have a bit of a 3-D feature. I used heavy duty aluminum foil between two colors of hand-dyed fabrics to give structure to the peeling bark part. Fun and interesting to work with! But in this case...I think it accomplished its purpose!
Peeling Birch
I have to admit, I'm really enjoying this series. Depicting some of the effects in textile can be an interesting challenge. I'll be sharing this on Nina Marie's Off The Wall Friday!

Hi Kelly,
I love this piece. It seems we fiber artists have a thing for tree bark!
I KNOW!! There must be something about them!! Glad you liked my piece! Thanks
Very good, Kelly!
The effect of the foil is very effective - great idea.
Kelly, what a wonderful piece! I love it!
This is wonderful and I love the idea of using aluminum foil to stabilize your dimensional elements!
