Description
This is Poinsettia, a three-dimensional flower that was made by the Art Partners for the Fingers and Petals Exhibition. It was a multi-stage process with Roslyn drawing petal shapes with a pencil held between her toes. Helen then scanned the petal drawings and reproduced them in different sizes. Paper patterns were cut, Roslyn suggested colours, Tracey mixed paint, and Roslyn painted the canvas which was then cut according to the paper patterns. Poinsettia was then lined with fabric and given wire inserts. Hand stitching provided the finishing touches.
