Original artwork description:

on a pice of 100% white linen I have collaged on first the piece of indigo chambray fabric, on top of that I have added fish, large and small, all printed from my own linocuts and attached them with freemotion embroidery, the embroider is like drawing with the thread, and I love making these collages. I print and handprint my own fabrics so the collage is very much unique.

I do adore making fish, so beautiful and such a miracle, swimming in the ocean. I added a bit of embroidered text for the fun of it and details in red, classic beach colors, red, blue and white.

To make one of these collages means I have to have all my "ingredients" ready printed, and dry. Just the embroidery part can take me hours.

The piece measures 29" x 21" (75 cm x 53 cm) and there is a border to frame with, as I do intend for these collages to be framed. The edges are finished with zig zag stitches and the piece has backing to make it steady. I have signed in stitch and it comes with a certificate of authenticity.

I ship from my studio in Denmark with many years experience in packing my art so it arrives safely, see my many happy reviews.
Thank you for looking, welcome back, Mariann
