In creating this piece I took advantage of the transparent nature of organza. I liked that the back of the stitching was as clearly visible as the front. I used the thinnest embroidery thread I could find, and built up some layers by over-stitching. I felt that any kind of commercial frame would overwhelm this fragile work, so I made my own frame with twisted wire and beads which was much more aligned with my vision.
In my mind, “fleeting” is best depicted by a soap bubble. It is fragile, transient, transparent, and vanishes in the wink of an eye.
