Red Gum Wall HangingBlue sky with an iconic red gum a typical bush scene around Sydney, where I grew up. Technique: The sky is made from many painted pieces of fabric quilted together to provide the impression of the wind, with some white clouds painted on. Then the red gum, rusty batik fabric, and the foreground were appliqud, and quilted. Embroidery was added to give the semblance of grasses, rocks and lichen. Finally the leaves of the tree were painted using a sponge.
