Today I have completed my stitched wallhanging based on Mount Fuji.
I have posted quite a lot about this already, I have enjoyed working on this project, it has been filled with memories and significance. so here are just a few photographs.
The piece is hanging on a narrow piece of bamboo that grew in my garden.
The final details I added today are some wisteria and a suggestion of tea fields. Sensei Bryan has his own tea fields in Fujino as do all his neighbours. We were given some tea by Bryan's landlord to bring home. The wisteria has a double meaning. "Fuji" also means wisteria in Japanese and Fujino has glorious wild wisteria which follows the cherry blossom.
beautiful stitching. love this piece.
ReplyDeleteThat is one great wall hanging packed with memories and 'Japonism'. I love that you have added wisteria to Mt Fuji and the hint of the tea fields. The icing of the cake - the bamboo reed from your garden.
ReplyDeleteSimply gorgeous, Lis. I envy your creativity. Have had a real creative block this year and have done so little stitching. Hoping it breaks soon. Just watching you, Nat and Jean keep me going.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely - gentle, but interesting for the eyes. Really beautiful, Lis.
ReplyDeleteGood timing, as Fuji was recently made a World Heritage Site.
ReplyDeleteperfect in every way, so happy we share some of those memories.
ReplyDeleteLove the colours, Lis. They are so true to the feeling of Japan.
ReplyDeleteLis, that is a beautiful wall hanging, love the way the dyed parts have shown you how they want to be embroidered!
ReplyDeletethe binding is a lovely subtle splash of colour too
