Description of HollyHock Hill
Hollyhock Hill was mostly created from a single piece of hand dyed fabric. The background trees and sky were the only parts that were pieced. When I put the base fabric on my design wall I saw the hollyhock images. I developed the detail using ink pigment blocks to define the flowers, the water and rocks in the foreground based also on what I saw in darker sections of the dye fabric. Thread painting and free motion quilting enhance the details.
