After I painted the fabric, I added gesso...just to see what would happen and it totally reminded me of a bunch of flowers. |
We leave for our trip tomorrow...so unless I can't sleep tonight...which is highly unlikely...this will be my last post for a month!
This is it (on the right) upside down when I still wasn't sure where I was going with it. |
Here is another of the door knob quilts that came about from painting scraps one day last month and along with the last two I've shown you...is also for sale.
I thought the flower arrangement would be WAY different...but this is how it is...
I loved using other elements - from other projects (failed)- like the bottle and mug...
And pieces from techniques I've played around with and saved every last scrap of - like the white 'picture' on the wall...
Most of all I loved the freedom of just being able to 'do the next thing' as it came to me...
And end up with a quilt that's gonna be hard to let go of!!!
If it sells that is.
I will miss you in the coming month...
Create Your life,
annie!
this is so beautiful, I will miss your posts, have a good time away,

ReplyDeleteannie! I like how this one goes off the edge. That Tttt posting was somehow accidental. Who knows what my fingers were thinking. Sometimes they have a mind of their own. Especially late at night.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a blessed time with your son.

Thanks Coleen! LOL!!! When I looked at the blog post, I saw that you'd deleted the Tttt and just laughed because I've done done that my friend. LOL. I do appreciate ANY comment you make and just the fact that you would take time to look at my art and say anything IS a blessing to me. We are still in TX and totally happy.
ReplyDeleteHello Annie
ReplyDeleteThat was such a nice comment on my journal.
Love those little baby door handle quilts. You really are such a talent even recycling your own bits and pieces of art.
Take care,
Suzy
Thank you Suzy! And you're welcome. I sold three of my door knob quilts & a couple other things so I'm totally happy about that. :)
ReplyDeleteHope you are still enjoying your trip! Can't wait to hear more about it.
ReplyDeleteWe're having a great time! I tried to see if I could blog today from here and if I can figure out the picture thing...I will! Hope all is wonderful in your world.
