Decorative Fence
It was beyond me to go metaphorical but in my search for interesting fencing I looked at fences in my home area (not very inspiring) and then on the internet. There I found pictures of fences which had been decorated in a number of ways. People are amazingly inventive. Anyway I then decided upon a typical fence which I decorated in my own way and had fun doing it. So here it is.

I am so pleased you did this Rosemary because it was where I was headed when I picked the topic but somehow got sidetracked. It condenses the elements of fences I had seen walking around Auckland that I really liked - the picket fence and flowers growing over it and, to add to that, my idea of NZ at its finest - blue sky and green rolling hills! Great colours and execution.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely interpretation of a fence, colourful and full of life. Your colour choices always impress me and make me feel cheerful.
ReplyDeleteI went through exactly the same process and love what you finally decided upon - a truly personal fence!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun fence.
ReplyDeleteLove how you are able to include your style into the challenges. Such a fun loving, colourful fence.
ReplyDeleteLove your piece - so bright and colourful and as always your stitching and quilting can't be faulted. I also looked at doing an unusual fence and saw some wonderful examples of fences made from various items such as ski blades painted colourfully and many more examples. Yours is so vibrant and fun and I really love it.
ReplyDeleteOh I wish I had a fence to paint! What a super, fun idea. Beautifully done, Rosemary, plus exquisite construction and quilting.
ReplyDeleteI will go and google painted fences now...

I remember those fences and carvings on the porch of a friends house in Auckland. And you added some really fun colours. Very cheerful, just what we need right now.
ReplyDeleteI love the whimsy in your fence. I just googled to see what was going on in Auckland and yours wins hands down! Beautifully designed and quilted!
