 Mahogany
(SOLD!)

Mahogany 1 of 3

12" h x 9" w

This was inspired by a photograph of a cross-section of mahogany wood that was magnified 400 times.  The green is handstitched with two colors of thread, the long, wavy lines are wire and the deep red cells are handfelted pieces with stitched detail.  It is on a background of cotton and crinoline. The mahogany frame is made by my husband and woodworker, Charles Minchew.
