This one took a while.... too many distractions.. too many new experiments... but I still loved it, so I finally finished it.
Presenting City Love Affair 4. My grandmothers vintage linen towel, a lot of vintage lace from oh so many sources, a
TAP transfer, machine stitching and hand stitching. A portrait of a beautiful building belonging to a
school I never went to, but might have if I had stayed in Russia.

So different from the rest of the work I am doing right now, but yet such a part of me still.

This is gorgeous!! How lovely that you used your Grandmother's linen towel. The architecture is beautiful.
I do so love all of your layers, Natalya, and the stitching, too. I just love your work.
