This is based on a graphite drawing I did for drawing class. The image was converted to sepia tones and printed on fabric. I will be putting this in a pillow top, so the edges are not yet finished. I love animals, so this was a great challenge. Those who know me will be surprised that I didn't do a cat!

"Tiny Giraffe" (10" x 13")
This is based on a graphite drawing I did for drawing class. The image was converted to sepia tones and printed on fabric. I will be putting this in a pillow top, so the edges are not yet finished. I love animals, so this was a great challenge. Those who know me will be surprised that I didn't do a cat!
The curves create interesting spaces and the words that first came to my mind when I saw it was graceful and mysterious.
ReplyDeleteI really like the sepia, monochromatic colors of this piece. I'm drawn in to look at the details, and they're lovely.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. It really draws you in.
ReplyDeleteDella, you tiny giraffe is very sweet, and the detail you put in your drawing is wonderful. I like the sepia tones and the whole impression of the piece makes you feel comforted and safe. I love this piece!

Hi Della - I think this little piece is so appealing. It has a serene feeling both in the coloring and the composition. The texture of your background quilting is lovely.
ReplyDeleteHi Della, well, now we know you are a talented artist with a pencil as well as one with a needle. This is so sweet and graceful...there should be a fairy tale to go with it
ReplyDeleteGreat job!
