Shadow Applique

My next Super Sample for the Stitched Textiles course was shadow appliqué.  Inspiration for this piece comes from a photo I had taken of a panel on a staircase somewhere in France.  The background is white cotton and the appliqué shape was bondawebbed onto coloured cotton, cut out and pressed onto the white background.  I outlined the appliqué with some pink/gold metallic fabric paint.  I overlaid the whole piece with white voile and stitched around the edges in gold thread.

The piece I'm working on now is Reverse Appliqué.  Here is the Work In Progress
