Fiber Art Piece for January Challenge

Earlier this month I posted my Haiku for our January word "Beginnings".

I also posted a photo that I created to illustrate the Haiku.

Treacherous frost lurks

Tender shoots defy the chill

Hardy rosebuds thrive.

Here is the Fiber Art component

 The background is lutradur - burned edges, painted, stamped and painted with pearl-ex. Added wintery textures with stamped angelina fibers and sequin waste.
The rosebuds are printed from my garden photos - and thread painted.
A purchased leafy "vine" is appliqued.
The Haiku is printed on Extravorganza that has been fringed and painted on the edges.
The whole piece is covered with a sparkly tulle for added winter effect. A few scattered beads add motion.
