CREATING THE GIANT BUTTERFLY
I used patchwork and appliqué techniques, as well as a method cutting sewing big areas of fabric loosely together, cutting out portions, sewing different fabrics into the gaps and then repeating on a smaller and smaller scale. The result is very rich, textured based layer.

The process to create this piece was hugely time consuming, but very rewarding.
