Very busy of late. A period of upheaval and transition. But I know this throwing things up in the air bit often provides fodder for sustained periods of creativity later on.
In stolen moments I have been playing with scraps of hand-dyed fabrics. Some of my own cottons mixed up with bits of silk leftovers from Connie Tiegel. This blue fabric has a water feeling.
This green construction suggests a mossy forest or bog.
(The fabric marked with x’s is another Connie Tiegel scrap.)
These fabrics are destined to be cut up and used in larger constructions, a series of landscape quilts I have had in mind for sometime. I’m very curious to see how the velvets and gauzy silks hold up to my construction techniques for curved lines and shapes. If they don’t fall apart too much, it could open the door to adding another textural dimension to my work.
