Description
Burlap And Beads by Kathy K. McClellan is a photographic image created for Day One of the Fine Art America Personal Art Challenge (Theme: Textures). This is a square image.
This is a photograph of the top of a small jewelry box. The box was covered in burlap that had been hand embroidered with beads, yarn and shiny discs.
Embroidery is a craft using a needle and thread, yarn or other items, such as the beads and discs shown in this image.
These handcrafted techniques have been handed down from one generation to the next. This particular piece was handcrafted in India.
The burlap provides a background for the needlework that was done to represent flowers blossoms.
Notice the contrast between the rough texture of the burlap and the shiny discs and beads.
