Sunshine on Fields of Gold cushion: unique fibre art

Bright, golden yellow shades, orange, amber and off-white in an abstract design suggest fields of grain or hillsides covered in natives—Creeping Iris (Libertia peregrinans), Golden Tōtara (Podocarpus totara ‘Aurea’), Brachyglottis ‘Otari Cloud’ or Leptinella traillii—or perhaps just the southern hills, golden with red tussock (Chionochloa rubra).

Hand-stitched mainly in long stitch, with couching stitches on tapestry canvas, it's a smallish cushion - see below.

For "Sunshine on Fields of Gold" cushion, I was awarded the Crafts prize in the 2023 Kāpiti Arts and Crafts Society‘s Annual Awards, judged by Penny Eames and sponsored by Forsyth Barr. The Society awards annual prizes in both Art and Craft sections.

Main colours: yellow, gold, orange
Method: mainly long stitch, with couching and padded satin stitch, on tapestry canvas
Fibres: wool—knitting and tapestry wools
Backing: greyish upholstery canvas with opening is machine stitched to the front cover.
Approx size: the smallest cushion insert (size 14) 36 x 36 cm just barely fits
Alterations: at the moment, there's no closure at the back. For an extra $5.00 I'd be happy to add velcro or snap catch.

Price includes packaging and standard (tracked parcel) postage within New Zealand. There's an extra cost for for having your purchase couriered.

Although some works are similar, none are identical. When you buy from "Eclectic Yarn" (or any of my shops on Felt), you know your purchase is "one of a kind", an original design, and will never be duplicated.
