Mummy's Birthday Present - a photo on Flickriver

Mummy's Birthday Present

            I worked on this about six hours a day, for the five months between April and September 1995, so I could finish it for my mother's birthday in October that year. I had to finish in early September so I had enough time to post it to her and for it to arrive. It is actually a sort of reproduction in cotton and thread of a printed poster she sent me. It was much smaller, and used different colours, and there were other features I changed. However, I took the basic design of the poster, drew it on cloth much larger and proceeded to fill it all in with thread. It's actually a large-ish piece. It's about the size of 11x14 paper. This is the most complete piece I've ever worked on. Looking at it now, it's amazing how much work I did on it.
