This past weekend proved to be a busy creative one for me...starting with the preparation of four canvases for my recent series of quiltlets EARTH AIR WATER FIRE.
First I gessoed the canvas
and then painted them with color to make the fabric pieces pop
deciding on the right shades of blue for air and water
and browns, yellows, greens for earth... and black for fire...
then I got to use the wonderful sea sponge I found for stamping
sea like images to the WATER piece
and then I hand sewed each fabric piece to it's canvas background
and then painted them with color to make the fabric pieces pop
deciding on the right shades of blue for air and waterand browns, yellows, greens for earth... and black for fire...
then I got to use the wonderful sea sponge I found for stamping
sea like images to the WATER piece
and then I hand sewed each fabric piece to it's canvas background
and put on my own personal art show in our backyard

Sea, air, fire, earth is the how I like them. Of course if I saw them in person I might change the sequence. They are all so good. I don't know how one could choose. I hope they go together.
ReplyDeleteNow maybe you could do winter spring summer fall. ?? Or have you done this?
Lynn..... I love these. I've been playing with canvas mounting some fiber art pieces myself. Yours are beautiful - I am in love with the earth piece particularly. There's that "stradated" stitching. Oh sew cool!
