Celebration of Water
This is the Fiber Arts creation that Shannon Wetzel chose for The Shakeout page of Modern Casting Magazine. The various water covers were printed with deep embossment on my hand made paper circles. They were secured to metallic gauze which was stretched over the wooden frame of a canvas back painted black. Using this technique makes the little watercovers appear to “Float.”
