This detail of Mariposa Grove 3 shows a digital print on melted lutradur. This print has been stacked in several layers on a crocheted hemp base. The lutradur is sewn in place with french knots and beading.
Building a textural surface in layers is one of my favorite ways to create. This image is digitally printed on lutradur that has been heat distressed slightly. The heat changes the edges and puckers the surface. On the top, a piece of polyester netting has also been heat distressed and beads and crochet with various threads and thin yarns are added to the netting. The surfaces are connected with metalic thread.
