3 fabrics: background is hand dyed cotton; middle layer polyester 2-tone fabric, stamped with original stamp used in earler work; top layer purple lurex.
Stitched throughout in chain stitch, with a thick hand-painted pearl cotton thread, and 3 strands of yellow stranded cotton.
I think your chain stitch looks really three dimensional on this; creating a more encrusted effect with your twinkly top fabric. Your hand painted thread picks up the orange stamped pattern
