First thing, I painted the wooden hoops the silk hangs on with acrylic paint. The diameters are 12, 14 and 16 inches.
I did some experiments to figure out how to best finish the lower edges of the silk forms. Angelina fibers adhered with a clear fusible product called Trans-web was the way I chose to go. (I remembered to take notes for a change)!
This morning my good friend S helped me hang the finished piece at our church. This is looking from the rear of the church toward the alter.
This view is from our balcony.
Looking toward the rear of the church, we enter through the double doors, and walk under the sculpture. Pentecost Sunday is this weekend, and we are ready!
Just beautiful!
