Succulent

10 x 13½

A close-up of a succulent which shows the plant in perspective was used as the basis for this piece. A combination of quilting and painting adds color and texture. My process is described in more detail in a few entries on my blog beginning October 31st. I like how this quilt came out, and will make more similar to this.

VERY nice! I love your quilting and the shading you did with paints. This is a lovely piece!
I also like its asymmetry a lot.

Hi Linda, this is gorgeous! Love the color variations, shadowing and fabulous texture from the quilting. This would make a great large piece, too...would be very dramatic.

Double WOW WOW...complex quilting in the simplicity of a single object makes this a show stopper. I also liked the other piece on your blog.

This is fabulous! The shadows created by the use of value define the leaves and create depth. The Texture added by the quilting is wonderful. This is monochromatic at its best.
