NATIONAL TRUST FOR SCOTLAND ART COMPETITION
Over the summer, the National Trust for Scotland ran an art competition of students, emerging artists and established artists. You could win £1000, so I though why not! Below is my entry, I sewed an image of Culzean Castle, however I changed the flowers on the left of the image to be Scottish Thistle's, as I thought they were more fitting. I enjoyed sewing the image, I found it very therapeutic and relaxing and am going to have the piece framed for my Aunt, as she likes sewing came with us to visit the castle.
I think the piece looks better in real life, the photo's don't flatter it, but I find that the camera often doesn't show sewn pieces as well as I would like. Well done to all the winners, who can be found the link below, some of them are truly amazing and deserve recognizing! I really like the emerging artists winner, as well as Hazel Vellocott's work (bottom of shortlisted artists) and John Dalon's Gladstone's Place. Enjoy!
