Hello to all festival go-ers. Welcome to Kit Lang Art!

Today I am showing you a piece I finished earlier this year, called "Hiraeth".

So, remember when I decided to remove "the dude selling Christmas trees"?  I was left with this - which was a problem.

But how to cover it up?  I tried painting it (didn't help), melting it (the base of this piece is a man-made fabric) but it only scorched it. So then I tried painting the scorching which also didn't work, so I had to remove the paint and then scorch the whole thing to match, giving it a nice, yellow cast (good thing I'm not planning to enter it in any shows!) and then I sat and puzzled till my puzzler broke.

So what did I do?
