Tree in Spring, hand embroidered, hand beaded wall hanging, art quilt

Description

I seldom repeat a design in my art because I have the attention span of a gnat and I'm always ready to move onto something new and different. But when I did the first tree in this series I loved it so much that I felt a need to create a tree for all four seasons. Each of these pieces took about four months to complete, so you can see how dedicated I was to completing the series!

The art quilt you're viewing now is the spring tree and the pictures just don't do justice to the beautiful pastel colors of this piece. The outer border is a subtle leaf print in delicate pinks, greens and lavenders. The inner border is a lilac fairy frost and the inner frame a mint green fairy frost. The tree is embroidered on cotton sateen. The hand embroidered tree uses several tones of lavenders, purples and lilacs embroidered with silk and rayon threads in a variety of stitches to give it a natural texture.

Then came the beads!! I don't even want to think about how many glass beads are included in this piece, but there are aurora borealis glass beads individually sewn into the each of the borders that give the sparkle of morning dew. The tree itself has thousands of pinkish/lilac beads applied in individual fringes. Each branch swings and sways independently. This was truly a work of love and devotion to apply each and every bead one at a time by hand.

The back is unbleached muslin and there is a rod pocket so your new art quilt will be ready to hang on your own rod. This art quilt measures 24"x24".

Can you resist it? Do you have the perfect place for this dazzling art quilt? This is a gorgeous and delicate art quilt that will brighten any room.

If you're not a “spring" person or if you'd like to have a delightful pairing of trees, be sure to check the summer tree also listed on my store.
