"Hibiscus Abstracted"
A friend brought a photo of a beautiful Yellow Hibiscus to one of our fiber group meetings.  We each interpreted it any way we wished.  I took lines and curves and colors and created the piece below.



"Hibiscus Abstracted" is machine and hand embroidered.  Beads, hand dyed ribbon and Swavorski crystals were added.  It is ready to hang.  Below is this piece matted.

I created this piece about two months ago for a dear friend.  Ms. Felecia West had been the head librarian at the Denham Springs/Walker Library since it opened.  She was a great friend of those who loved books and art.  Her fellow librarians asked me to create this piece as a gift from them.  She got to enjoy it before she passed.  She will be greatly missed.  I was very fortunate to have been her friend.  Special thanks to Edie Albe for machine quilting it so quickly.  She made it special.
