Red Violin

After watching the movie, The Red Violin, I was inspired to create this piece. This is not the same as my other Red Violin piece. This one preceded that one by several years. This one was my first attempts at using real musical instrument parts to create a piece of fiber art. The strings on this piece are actually guitar strings because the size of the piece was too large (it's 40"x45") to use real violin strings. I had to use a piece of metal sewn into the back in order to handle the tension of the strings.

This piece has sold.
