I had a really good time working on this piece, & just finished the last stitches this morning.
I started with the idea of doing something along the lines of a Crazy Quilt, but ended up doing something that looks "Sane", but still a little "crazy".
Starting with smooth satin fabric, I made the black background, edging it with a fuzzy soft yarn finish. I made 9 3 1/2 inch squares from white wool, & put a different texture on each square. The white was too stark, so I painted the edges with some Dynaflow textile paint.
In the vacant space at the bottom I added some other textures with metallic Holoshimmer thread & free-motion quilting.....
I will post detail photos on my blog tonight.
This is great. Kind of like a texture sampler.
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful, Deb!
ReplyDeleteinteresting...and I like your textures in the "vacant space"...yes, a texture sampler.
ReplyDeletegreat way to experiment with texture and use up embellishments a the same time!
ReplyDeleteI like it, it's lively and colourful and so full of detail to look at.
ReplyDeleteWill check out the detail pics too.
Thank you for sharing.

How fun.
ReplyDeleteI just love this Texture Sampler..utilizing both the positive and negative space. The color contrast adds much as well.
ReplyDeleteIt just begs to be touched! Great piece Deb!
I love your "sampler" with all it's different textures and the "ghost" quilted textures at the bottom make the design.
