- Love your three pieces here - especially how you use tulle and yarn to add texture and dimension.

- I've added three new fiber art pieces done in the last two weeks. The water scene with pink sky measures approx. 9" square. I used pulled and cut yarn, nylon cording, rope, and thread and made the design on muslin. I covered it with tulle and quilted it with coordination threads by machine and by hand.
The path scene is made the same way and I only used yarn to make the design and added hand embroidery. It measures 2 1/2" x 3 1/2".
The black cloud scene is done the same way. I used yarn, fabric and paper and it measures approximately 7" square.
