I used a hand dyed fabric overlaid with shiny red organza to represent the Pomegranate seeds which are encapsulated in plump, shiny, transparent sacs of juice. I did try burning the organza but did not get the finish I was hoping for, so I left that procedure out on the finished piece.
The sacs are trapped in a membrane and a spongy creamy white pith. and I chose bleached mulberry bark for this, on which I couched down a variety of cords and fibers. After machine stitching and painting the seeds I finished by embellishing the pith with sequins and beads.
I do like a bit of bling.......
