My colour choice is not typical of Art Deco but these fabrics popped out when I was scrounging amongst my stash. I found the lines between Art Deco and Abstract Art Deco blurred and confusing. I first pieced my design using the simple lines and forms of Art Deco. Now to quilt. To make it more 'abstract' I then went with the simple geometric, formalized lines and shapes on top of the piece.
Oh my. I love it. From the colours to the quilted lines. How are the black leaves executed? Hilary
ReplyDeletePainted....too fiddly to appliqué
DeleteI love the leaves
DeleteGosh Phil ,what an interesting piece with unusual colour combinations . The lighter coloured shapes stand out well. What a good idea to paint in the leaf patterns which ,I agree, would be too fiddly to appliqué. You must have enjoyed sorting out the colours for this interesting piece.
ReplyDeleteI really like this piece and it was a bit of a challenge for everyone to abstract art deco but you have done so, so well. Really like your choice of a dark background which makes the colours pop. Your design was great, and extremely effective. Good idea to paint the leaf pattern.
