Two New Goddess Wrap Designs - Folk Artwear Wraps - The Fern Girl - Sunflower Maid

I have enjoyed making the two large baby wraps so much I have decided to  go back to my original designs and to work on them a bit to create some new 'Goddess Wraps'. These will be the same technique as the baby wraps but this time with a female form in mind. I have made two designs to be shown at Artweeks 2012 along with 'Rabbit Queen' as part of a Folk Tales theme.

The first design is based around a folk tale called The Fern Girl about a baby found wrapped in a fern leaf
 and the second is going to be TheSunflower Maid, a tale like Rabbit Queen of my own devising.

This is my Mood Board for The Fern Girl, a woodland boho collection of greens and browns


These are the images from the book ( above and below)

My Sunflower Maid is going to be a dreamy celebration in yellow, old gold, rich brown and pale terracotta



I also receive some Stunning recycled sari silk yarn from goldenonetoo  yestersday in beautiful creams and yellows so they will be a focal part of my piece
