goodness, where do you start!?! lol
children's colouring books are great for these kinds of things.
the sky was one piece with bits added on top here and there to break up the sky and add light coming from where the sun would be, then add the lines on the waves, with small bits at the top and bottom for foam splash.
the sun was made of layered triangles, then placed and sewn on with a spiral of stitches. then the arrowed rays added.
some was satin stitched, some 1.6 straight stitched close to the raw edges.
then some embroidered machine stitching added along the waves.
batik fabric as great though, kind of gives it a watercolour look :)
love jacquie xxxx
