I have taken my inspiration from a mosque that is only in draft form and it has been designed by architects who have a blog called arcfly.blogspot.com.
The background is made up of a wonderful piece of fabric made by Heide Stoll-webe and grey fabric. The mosque is machine applique. The piece is then enhanced with paints and free motion quilting.
What a great find - and so beautifully interpreted and executed. Beautiful shapes and lines and great choice of fabric. Love the inclusion of the background buildings - it anchors the mosque in a landscape. H
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Phil. Love the background and you have captured the lines and enhanced the piece with quilting. Well done.
ReplyDeleteWow, both to your piece and the architects themselves. Both pieces make me think of a rose unfolding. A lovely interpretation of their design - I hope they get to build it one day.
ReplyDeleteA very striking piece Phil and the background fabric is a superb choice . Rosemary
ReplyDeleteI love the sky fabric, and the contrast between the sky and the mosque.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Did you paint the background buildings on to the fabric? A very effective addition.
ReplyDeleteYes they are painted with a paint that is not for fabric (it escapes me for the moment) hence the effect which surprised me.
DeleteA beautiful interpretation of the design. I like the buildings in the background and I also like the fabric you chose for the sky. It all works well together.
