My World



"My World" came to mind when I saw a spam headed "your world" and started thinking about what my world would like like if I were its designer. I had a great time grabbing scraps that already had fusible web and laying them on a circle until they pleased me. Then I satin-stitched them and free-motion quilted over most of the piece using mostly metallic threads. The piece is approximately 15" across. I've never made anything circular so I simply faced it and stuck it on a piece of foam core.
As always, I will appreciate your comments.

  5. Roberta, "Your World" is beautiful! There is so much flow to it. The piece is a wonderful abstraction on the circular shape! It is filled with fire, softness, movement and freedom. Out of curiosity, what do you think about it?

  6. Hi Cay - what a great question! I sat and looked at the piece and here are the words I wrote down: rich, flowing, cohesive, inclusive, edgy, changeable, imperfect, vibrant, pleasing. It is interesting to me that these words are a combination of how I see myself and how I wish the world would be.

    Thanks for making me think more deeply about this little work. Now I want to do more with it - find a good background or decide it is finished and figure out how to hang it. You've just rescued it from the closet.

  7. I love this piece. It reminds me of beautifully lacquered and painted wood pieces you see in a museum. And it has a sense of being 3 dimensional. Well done.
