Slow Stitching Sunday

Image
This is my crazy quilt block for October.  I know, it isn't exactly a crazy quilt piece.  That's okay.  I love to push boundaries.  For this block, I stole ideas from two artists I really like.  Van Gogh and Klimt are the artists.  Can you recognize their influence?  This block was a lot of fun to create.  Did I mention I love to push boundaries?

Water

Image
I am still playing with my six inch square water experiments.  These little pieces are all going to be going into a book form.  Or at least that is the plan at the moment.  This piece is truly mixed media.  I did some hand stitching and then added glass beads in gel, fibre paste, transfer foil, glitter and paint.  I love the sparkle and shine of this piece.  I am linking to http://ninamariesayre.blogspot.com/

I am having so much fun with this experimental piece.  The colour and texture arehttps://needleandthreadnetwork.blogspot.com/ making me really happy.  I can definitely see myself exploring this idea more.

Water

Image
I am still playing with my water experiments.  Possibly this piece could use more work.  It is rather simple but not every piece has to be a star.  I did a surface treatment on sheer fabric, pulled some threads to fray that sheer fabric and stitched to the velvet base.  I also added some beading.

Work in Progress Wednesday

I have made some progress on my October crazy quilt block.  I am mainly happy with it.  I don't love the way the transfer foil is looking on the tree.  I will have to redo that.  I am linking to https://www.quiltfabrication.com/ https://needleandthreadnetwork.blogspot.com/
