HEART GODDESS

This piece is created by textile and fibre artist

Caroline Sharkey

of Far North Coast, New South Wales

Caroline says: "Heart Goddess was made with Friends in mind. Three Hearts for three special friends that lost their mums in past years. I find stitching a very therapeutic process and making this piece was special!
I made the piece with fabric made from an old white wedding dress and veil bought and recycled from a second hand store. The hearts are also made from snippets of special reused fabrics and the embroidery edges were freely stitched onto water soluble fabric to create an individual edge for each heart and the finished edge of the piece. It has been mounted ready to frame under glass.
