Title: Water and wind
Theme: Create an image that
shows the way the flow of water and/or wind can change things, over time.
Technique: Free motion quilting
Due date: Jan. 4, 2014
Both water and wind can move
objects, sometimes minute objects, over time.
Sometimes the effect can be as simple as a gentle rain or breeze on our
faces, or moving our hair, and is often indicated by repetitive lines or
waves. Over time the effect can be huge.
The result of this type of
action can create a sense of awe within in us. Think of the way wind can sculpt
a sand dune, or water erode a shore line, over time. Snow drifts can be both
beautiful and sometimes a little threatening.
Think of the strata exposed in rock faces eroded by flowing water. You
could show the actual action happening or maybe the result of the event over
time.
Similarly, you could use the
technique of repetitive lines to show the effect on a skirt, or even the fur of an animal.

As well as the above, the usual
Google images also show some excellent examples of the repetitive lines and
curves that result from the long term effect of wind and water.
