'Piasa-Dragon Bird'
Patricia Charity
12" x 12" on 14" x 14" canvas
$200

Using a collage technique, I layered on a muslin background various papers, tissues, hand dyed scrim, yarns, ribbons, netting and tulle.

Cutting out areas of the 'fabric' that I liked, I layered them on an over dyed background fabric. Yarns were couched on the surface. A purchased applique, beads and a glass button were added.

The canvas was covered with marbled handmade paper and the quilt was hand stitched onto the surface.
