done

here is jealousy - pretty much done, i think. there could be a few tweaks with some paint but this is it.

it's now marinating on the kitchen door so i can look at it and see what else it might need. i bought some irregularly shaped vintage beads thinking they might be good jealousy fruit but i'll wait and see.

vital statistics:
120x90 cm

burnt back after stitching with a heat gun, slashed with a craft knife and the slashes opened up with a soldering iron.

Very powerful. Love the slashes; they give movement and meaning. The colours work really well together too with those flashes of magenta/red. The super cool thing about this is that I actually get to see it myself in August. Yay! Well done you..mega achievement.
