Ralph's a bit cross

Ralph\
I got the idea from Ralph's Cross on the North Yorks Moors. The background is a bleached and then space-dyed linen/cotton scrim and the crosses are space-dyed cotton.It's all snazzy and decorated at the top then gets "weathered" as you go down and I've added copper paints and then various patina chemicals to get the verdigris effect. I'm very partial to pinks and greens and raggy bits!

Boxes made from an idea in "Fibre and Stitch" using torn paper, feathers, Angelina fibres, shredded paper, Mistifuse - all layered up and bonded onto stiff interfacing - great fun!
