Flowers in the Meadow

This band of meadow flowers is part of a border at the base of a green coat, inspired by an exhibit in a Viennese museum. Yvonne started combining bobbin lace with other techniques and this design lent itself to that. Most of the flowers are lace, some are embroidered. The grasses are in Japanese embroidery in which the threads are made by combining colours, creating a gradation in the colours of the grass stalks. The ‘ground' is in Point de Marseille technique.
