Heatwave

Description

I was drawn to digital embroidery through color and light and the ability of the thread to reflect and define form. Heatwave is another stripe study, marrying strong thread colors on strongly colored striped fabric.  The design builds to an explosion of heat!  Digital embroidery and hand-rubbed walnut.
