Well, not many of the materials I found made it into the final piece. There's a few of the fabrics, and two of the threads round the outside, but the paint, silk cocoons and Markel (Shiva) paintstik fell by the wayside. I couldn't dis-associate green from vegetation in my mind, so in the end I decided to just go for it. A suggestion of a leaf, made using reverse fused appliqué, a technique I had somehow never tried before. Very simple, but I just love the spiral shape.
It's simplicity is its success, Linda. Love the flowing lines. How on earth did you manage to place all those different fabrics behind? Hilary
ReplyDeletePS Both Lindas have used reverse applique...
Like the design and it fits the size. The colours are great and it works so well as Hilary said, its simplicity is its success.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you took the opportunity to try a new technique, Linda, because it works so well with your design.
ReplyDeleteSo lovely!
ReplyDeleteDitto ....Simplicity at its best.
ReplyDeleteLove it! I am a very big fan of dots.
ReplyDeleteElegant simplicity - a far cry from what I expected when I saw your collection of green materials, and the better for it!
ReplyDeleteLove your control of your machine quilting!
Nicely balanced colour and design. I can see that all your work in the garden is influencing you!
ReplyDeleteI am thinking this would make an amazing jewelry design, Linda.
ReplyDeleteJust by using curved line and two other shapes, you have achieved a piece that conveys simple elegance. The variety of colors and quilting add the extra punch to take this to a very sophisticated creation without being fussy. Love it!!
