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.
Possibility begins with imagination - love it. The blues and greens, the beading, the metallic thread - all work beautifully in this well-crafted art quilt!!!

You've created so much movement with your added quilting lines. It really pulls you into the piece. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty - I like the shimmer. It looks like a doorway out.
ReplyDeleteVery wonderful. Very wonderful. It is such a powerful little piece. Everything just comes together.
ReplyDeleteI have been toying with a photo I took of a jellyfish. And I envision some of these techniques with sheers involved in that. Thanks for your help with my lady!
Oooh, such pretty blues!
