Snow and Crocuses

Description

This Fast Friday Fabric Challenge was “Hurry, Spring!”: create an picture of early spring, Impressionist style. I have the theme, but not so sure about the style! However, I always love the sight of the first crocuses to pop up among the leaf litter from the previous fall.

With this piece, I began the sacrifice of a mattress pad for my backing, and found that the top layer of that pad could be pulled off and made a nice impression of snow on the ground. All the other pieces are cut from various cotton fabrics, and then I over-painted with some glitter fabric paint.
