I took Carole's challenge as using color to portray mood and atmosphere in this challenge. I've used some very bright colors in this piece to portray the liveliness of jazz. Also some hand stitching to create the movement of music. My older sister plays piano and has the most beautiful jazz voice, and I ...well I always dreamed of playing stand up base. So here we are 'Sisters'.
Looking forward to your comments, and thanks for the great challenge Carole.
Rhoda,
ReplyDeleteI think that your fabric color choices along with the quilting motif add the excitement to this piece. The use of the varigated thread also helps to give movement. I also feel that the hand stitching adds another dimension to the texture. Thanks for sharing!

Lovely and so fitting of the theme filled with various textures and a definite light source shown by the colors you used. Nice...
ReplyDeleteExcellent! You absolutely got the colors and the mood! I love the detail of the sheet music. Great job:)
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone, I don't get the 'texture' part...I must have mis-read the challenge :)
ReplyDeleteHi Rhoda, I think you nailed the mood and atmosphere of an intimate but lively music scene. The stitching to create a flowing movement very well. I love the big flower in the foreground...it's unexpected. Great job!
