Prepping the background…

for a new Windsor Castle wallhanging – this time with a view from the Long Walk.  I try, as much as possible, to use pre-loved fabrics and the background for this project is entering its 3rd lease of life.  It started out as an Irish linen bedsheet and as it became threadbare was used as an ironing board cover.  For its last journey I have torn it to size and it’s now ready to paint.
