For the last couple months, it seems I have gone from one looming deadline to the next. This month is no different but I decided I was going to participate in the challenge come h--- or high water. The problem was I could only do so if I finished it by noon today as I am traveling the rest of the week and I had to make it fit at least one other purpose in order to justify the time spent. So I created "Woodland Sleep-Over" as a sample for a class I will be teaching in a couple weeks. The fungus is a shelf fungus which often grows on decaying trees and the colors are reddish brown/blue green and yellow green. It is still unquilted but I hope to rectify that next week. It is a painted wholecloth that started out as a piece of white PFD cotton. It is approximately 18" wide x 24 " high.
Adorable piece! Nice job of hand-painting, I'm assuming, on your main pieces. I'd love to see it quilted when you're done. This would look so good hanging in a child's room.
ReplyDeleteYour art work is superb Kathy! Is this paint or ink? I really can't wait to see this one quilted.

Thank you Jan and Cherie!
ReplyDeleteTo answer Cherie's question, the piece is painted with Dye-na-flow paints from Jacquard. I love them because they are the consistency of ink or dye and I can get a watercolor type result on the fabric. Kathy
so cute and cuddly. You need to have a story to go with it.

ReplyDeleteYou have wonderful control of the paint on the fabric. This will be an amazing piece when completed. So imaginative and interesting.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great interpretation Kathy. The fungi that grows on trees.. yeah! and a little wren singing her heart out. I do hope we will see this quilted.
