There were too many external factors that delayed the completion of the piece.
I am glad that I finally have overcome those difficulties.
I present to you - “My mosaic inlaid lizard “
This time, the lack of fabric and tools due to the move made it impossible for me to sew as I usually do.
So, I tried a different approach
- Quilt + Macrame !
Inspired by Parc Güell's mosaic lizard fountain, I used collage to make the main character, the mosaic inlaid lizard, and then quilt with black lines to increase the three-dimensionality and inlaid style of the lizard.
The background uses macrame style, weaving out branches and leaves.
(The cotton thread I bought was too white, so I dyed it with coffee first, but it was my first time trying to dye it with coffee, so I didn't get the feeling I wanted!)
I hope you will like this different piece and give me more suggestions.
Ps: My Islamic architecture work will be delayed! Because I broke my only sewing machine during the testing phase...
I can't make my quilt until the machine is repaired. I'm so sorry!
Oh my word this is amazing and well worth waiting for. Very clever and beautifully executed. Will happily wait for the next challenge
ReplyDeleteIncredible!! Well worth the wait. I love the idea of using it on macrame.
ReplyDeleteOh WOW! What a stunning piece of work. So imaginative and eye catching. Beautiful macramé - inspired. Sorry about the machine. Hope it can be fixed easily (and not too expensive). Hilary
ReplyDeleteMomo, This is beautiful and a really original take on Gaudi. I love your lizard. I hope your machine is mended soon.
ReplyDeleteI love your lizard Momo. And your macramé is lovely. I hope your move has gone well and that you are now settled in.
ReplyDeleteMomo this is so beautiful and such an original take on the subject. Your macrame really was inspired. A lovely piece of work. I trust you have now settled into your new home and that all is going well and so look forward to seeing your next piece when your machine is fixed.
ReplyDeleteThis is such an unusual piece. Definitely outside the box . A wonderful interpretation . Rosemary
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Love the lizard. Love the macrame. Love the end result!
ReplyDeleteI've recently come across a quilt artist who incorporates macrame into her quilts: https://www.izixdesign.com/about
