Up for A Challenge Art Quilts. Sunday, August 9, 2015. The quarterly challenge that was due at the end of June for my 12x12 group was 'Leaves'. I was initially excited about it because I wanted to try a technique one of you members, Karrie, showed me. You take an Oliver Twist "One Off" and make a tree out of it . Here is a picture of a " One Off. Next I used Tombow markers and drew around the trunk and branches and spray it with water. Finally, I painted polka-dots on the leaves. Labels: 12 x 12 challenge.

Once again the blog and I did not see eye to eye. More playing with free motion sketching using browns and blues. Looking closely at the orginal design I was amazed at how much brown is used in it. Next came blue hand embroidery followed by the addition of the bridge. This is the end result. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). May Contain Cat Fur.

Up for A Challenge Art Quilts. Tuesday, June 30, 2015. I love bark, moss, roots, leaves -you get the idea I love trees and everything about them! So for some unknown reason I drew a blank as to what I should make when " leaves" came up as the challenge. So blank that I didn't start this piece until 5 days ago. I just had to look in my own backyard. I'm from the east coast and we don't have Arbutus trees there. I'm fascinated but the way they shed their bark and their leaves. Thursday, June 25, 2015.

Up for A Challenge Art Quilts. Saturday, January 3, 2015. The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient. One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach - waiting for a gift from the sea. My piece for 'The Sea' is my interpretation of sea foam. I hooped water soluble stabilizer and. Thread painted the large foamy pieces. This is what the piece looked like when I put the needlework onto the quilted base before I began the handwork. What do you fear? May Contain Cat Fur.

For the last couple of years, I've been trying to figure out just what is abstraction. Still learning as my natural inclination is to do fairly representational/realistic artwork. Thanks for giving me a chance to explore my creativity on another level. I pulled and stretched the cheesecloth to make holes in it and elongate the holes. I chopped the waffle fabric up an...

Up for A Challenge Art Quilts. Thursday, June 25, 2015. In Pusuit of Purple by Margaret K,. LEAVES – In Pursuit of Purple. I love leaves. From previous posts, you know I live on a small acreage with trees – lots of trees – deciduous, evergreen, native and non native, fruit bearing, shade providing, upright, weeping. Leaves, ferns, mosses, vines, creepers, needles, bracts. Green, red, orange, yellow, brown. And purple/burgundy! I call it “Pure Joy”. June 30, 2015 at 9:42 AM. July 1, 2015 at 2:48 PM. How m...

Up for A Challenge Art Quilts. Sunday, October 5, 2014. The space within becomes the reality of the building. My 12 x 12 groups's challenge for this quarter was "Structure". Structure" can mean many things; for me, from my nerdy engineering side, I thought first of building structures. I went to Google, looking for structures and the photo below spoke to me. Labels: 12 x 12 challenge. Wednesday, October 1, 2014. I have been somewhat obsessed with hexagons lately so for Structure I thought I would feature...

Up for A Challenge Art Quilts. Friday, July 3, 2015. When I chose the theme "Leaves", I had an interior motive - to corner myself into actually carrying through on a project I had considered for some time. In my back garden is a weeping birch tree. It is a pleasure at all times of the year, but is especially beautiful in early fall, when strands of golden leaves appear amidst the green. The leaves were stitched by hand onto fine cords to create the strands of leaves. July 1, 2015 at 11:22 AM. Thanks to K...
