Rusted Love



I used stamping,stenciling, foiling, embroidery stitches and free motion quilting to create texture on this piece of green rusted fabric. I believe the green, rust and small bit of mauve equal the triadic color scheme of this challenge.
It is only a small piece 7.25 x 7.00 but it is all I had time for.
Your comments are appreciated.

  1. Hi Carole, wow, you sound busy and yet you had time to do a piece and experiment with some new techniques. Lots of texture and interesting surface design....but it's missing something as a completed piece, but would make beautiful ATC's if you were in the chopping mood!
    Hope your show goes well...enjoy the limelight!

  3. This is fun to look at. I think you must have had fun doing the quilting. The foil is very effective.

  4. Very nice Carole. I enlarged the picture and like the background fabric. What a fun piece. You achieved the triad, the gold leafing and quilting add lovely texture to it, it's just lovely.

  6. Carole, the more I look at this piece the more I see, and the more I like it. (I just can't seem to get enough of the rusted fabric and enjoy making it too). The foiling brings added texture and interest to the piece - very nice. Wonder if a little more of the stamping would make it feel more complete.
