Challenge #13 (2nd Year Challenge # 1) - Friday, 28 September 2007
Guest Hostess – Roberta Ranney
Theme or Technique - Architecture
Create a quilt representing your house or another house or building that
made an impression on you. The house may be the house of your dreams (or
nightmares). Your quilt may be realistic or abstract.
Design Concept - Depth
Some of the ways to create depth in your work are (1) use of shadows, (2)
lines converging in the distance, (3) elements decreasing in size in the
distance or (4) use of color to bring some elements closer and others to
recede.
Discussion - The following is included for informational purposes only:
