Skeleton leaves on a discharged homespun with stitch. I haven't done a quilt in months, so this was a good challenge for me. Went for a high horizon with somewhat transparent leaves. More dimensional in person!

What can I say other than BEAUTIFUL! I love every aspect of it. The discharged piece seems to be a trellis for an end of summer vine.
Exactly how did you do the leaves???
I love the leaves. I have a piece of discharge fabric that I have been wanting to work with and this gives me some ideas. Thanks for sharing.
The leaves can be found in the scrapbook section of your favorite craft store. So. . . does this make them "cheater" leaves?
The stitching on this is really lovely. This definitely has high contrast and value change. This was a nice way to use the discharged piece.
Della, this is wonderful - I love it! Your piece is simply elegant and beautiful. I love the subtleness of the stitching which adds movement to the piece. Terrific interpretation of this challenge. BTW, we don't really have rules in art quilts, so there is no cheating possible. LOL
Love that discharge fabric and the stitching really does the job. I have used those leaves, they are very fragile, aren't they.
The discharged portion really glows...
giving it a transparent, see-through effect.
Nicely done!
Beautiful! I love the balance that is mysteriously achieved with all the light at the top of the piece. I don't know why it works, but it does!
I love how you used the discharge in order to obtain a horizon. How was it working with the leaves - I've always eyed them but wondered if they were too delicate to use.
Very, very pretty. I've always loved those skeleton leaves. They are great paired with the discharged fabric.
Hi Della,
I do like that you thought outside the box with the grid creating a horizon line.
I love the idea of the skeleton leaves, too. So simple, but so strikingly effective.
I particularly like the simplicity of line for the leaves/vine below which serves to depict transparency with the minimum of fuss. This is when I wish I knew how to do simple! My brain just won't go there.
the discharge has its own translucent quality and the bottom edge left unfinished helps with the whole illusive air.
Thank you for a slightly different viewpoint. I really can learn from this.
Sandy
Such great contrast! And a unique substance to satisfy the "transparency" requirement. Hmmm, I believe I have some yellow leaves...........fall is coming...

Hi Della, love the strong contrast in value and weight with the white lightness of the feathery leaves and the dark heavy grid...very dramatic!
Cynthia
