The limitations imposed by this challenge provided an excellent creative push!
I was interested in seeing what I could do with textile paint on fabrics from my existing stash. The blue background is a printed quilter’s cotton...

...the fuchsia piece is commercial batik. I layered up the surface using textile paints applied with brushes and my own original rubber stamp designs followed by machine quilting.
Working on two pieces at the same time is a helpful practice, allowing ideas to flow in a call and response dance and giving me two pieces for the challenge. You can see details of this work along with additional information on my blog.
I like both of them but the houses really speak to me.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, Sus, in every way!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Beautiful how you've built on these fabrics!
ReplyDeleteSusan,I'm glad you included the link to your blog so that we could REALLY see how beautiful the detail is on these quilts!!! Awesome! (So are the ice photos if you scroll down!!!)
ReplyDeleteTwo! You ARE and over-achiever :^) VERY nicely done.
ReplyDeleteYou got terrific results on both pieces. I love the buildings piece. I was just driving in Boston and it was a familiar scene to your fuchsia piece.
ReplyDeleteTWO! I've done that myself before, and you are right about the benefits.
ReplyDeleteBoth pieces are incredible and I'd be hard pressed to choose a favorite!
I love these so much. Blue is my favorite color and I love the feeling that piece gives me of quiet watching the birds fly at dusk. So amazing.
ReplyDeleteThe colors, the depth, the talent---all awesome! I want them!! LOL
