This one started with these cute little dolls! I bought them from a Mexican Exhibition in San Antonio, TX. They are made by poor folk artists based in Guatemala.
I decided to make a quilted landscape/ fabric stitched collage and place these dolls there somewhere in the scene.
After toying with few ideas for the scene, I zeroed in on my favorite.
A forest trail!
The girl is carrying a basket for nothing but collecting the wildflowers in the trail…
After drawing it on a paper and color coding various parts, I got on with cutting and stitching various fabrics that suited the requirement of the landscape…
I used these cute wooden buttons for highlighting some wildflowers in the foreground…
And finally I placed the dolls on the trail in the finished collage and framed it…
