I seldom include letters or words in my pieces, but the challenge called for them, hence, Pouring T, quite literally! I tried cutting the letters out from fabric, but since I was unwilling to sew all around the edges for each letter, I tried out a technique that came through Joggles.com recently. They had a video of printing using adhesive foam and pieces of foam core for printing, and since I always have loads of foam core scraps, I gave it a try. The printing came out a bit light, but I filled in the T's with the same marker I had used for ink, and outlined the H2O steam and felt satisfied with the result.
At first, I was going to crop the kettle, but it wanted to be included in its entirety -- though it didn't want to have a handle!
Thanks, Ann, for a fun challenge. I welcome any comments.
This is a very fun interpretation of the theme. Great images. I'm going to try making foam core letters.
ReplyDeleteIt's always fun to be able to try out a new technique on a Fast Friday quilt. Stamping with foam core was very effective here with your quilt. Good job!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this! I am a recovering tea addict. I am not suppose to drink it anymore. Had to make a pot this morning because I was having a horrible day. Delicious. It also made me realize how much I missed it and how much I love it.
ReplyDeletePS. Really like the tea pot slightly out of the design.
ReplyDeleteTobi, I really like the composition of this piece. Many of the art quilts I've seen with words had used stamps and then quilted around them. Great Job!
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt. Our town just finished having our first "Tea" in conjunction with a museum display. The timing of this quilt was perfect.
ReplyDeleteLike the T s technique. Cute quilt.
