Following on from the previous post (october 22nd)  showing the stage where gold arcs applied to the almost-black fabric were then removed until a satisfactory design balance was achieved, this next photo shows  the arcs being sewn down.

And after the various stages outlined in the previous posts were done, the final stage, burning, produced texture like this.

Now I am in the process of burying threads from the back to the inside or sending gold threads caught up between layers through to the front to hang; and once that’s un-tidied up , I’ll add a sleeve and it’ll be ready to be photographed.
