I made 6" x 6" pieces and mounted them on canvases the same size. I painted the sides of the canvas to coordinate with the piece. Some were painted black and some a color that was prominent in the piece. I used my hand dyed fabrics for all the leaves. Several years ago I was buying up every different striated batik I could find and I used those for the backgrounds.

This is a postcard in a shadow box frame. The ginkgo is made from embossed velvet with some pearl nuggets on a striated background.

These pieces are so lovely...and very inspiring. Great way to display the lovely gingko!
Thanks, Carole and Kathy. The six by sixes will be $75 and the shadow box will be $125
These are gorgeous! I had forgotten about embossed velvet, I'll have to add it to my list of ways to create leaves.
Your ginkgoes are glorious! I especially like the gallery wrapped canvas presentation.
Lovely, Norma! Someone will surely snap those up!
These are lovely-so vibrant. I enjoyed looking over your photo-rich blog which I found via Mary Stori's.
I like the idea of the postcard in the shadowbox frame. I bought one of the pet postcards at houston (fabulous rainbow dog) but it looks sort of lonely just tacked to the wall. I might try this!
oh lovely. Great workmanship and a really good gift to buy! They are each and every one lovely. LeeAnna
Norma - I would love for you to share how you do this mounting technique - very cool! These are lovely! (Did I miss the link back to OTWF?)
Nina Marie,
I just put a liberal amount of acrylic medium on the canvas, put down the piece, which I had done on Peltex and covered with a heavy book for several hours to make sure it was flat.
Love your shibori background! The ginkos are great!
You have some gorgeous colour combinations going on Norma, and the ginkgos work so well on the backgrounds you have chosen.
They are so very beautiful. The shibori one absolutely glows!
