Blue Grotto

Second in the series of doorways.
Blue Grotto...
Silks, sheers, machine quilted with metallic thread, hand beaded.

I love the little drop beads and pearls. The sign says
Possibility begins with imagination

Is it a doorway into a place, or out of a place?

Silk has such a sheen that the quilting line shows very well. I allowed the blue sheer with spirals to billow up and fray along the stitching line adding to texture.See the little star sequins and seed beads?

(I ended up moving the words)

This is a truer color of the greens used in the preceding piece, The Green Door

the above piece was made from these silk scraps.

I will share the next in the series, Abstract flamingo, next week.
