Applique

I recently found a few unused canvas' in room so, after making a few different items lately, i decided to go back to canvas art to use them up. :-)

However, I have made them different to my usual canvas items by incorporating applique.

I did this using coloured felt, bondaweb, thread and angel hair. 

I have made two canvas' so far using these materials, one is of a blue and green fish and the other a blue and red butterfly,

As you can see from the images above, the felt I have used blends in well together and the black outline i have sewn on really makes it stand out well. The sequins and angel hair add to the detail. I have also added a blue frame to the canvas to make it look more finished.

The images of the butterfly canvas, above show how, like the fish canvas, the felt has blended in well and all the materials used help to make it stand out.
