Wolfgang & Theodore

First here is a picture of Wolfgang in Houston!!!!!

Theodore is done and should be applique in the next few days :)

I love him!!!!

The pattern and a kit will be available very soon :)

I am also playing still with water marbling on fabrics and paper. There is a lot of satisfaction into pulling the fabrics and seeing beautiful patterns. I am still learning and playing but hopefully soon I will use those fabrics into my pieces.

I also started piecing my "Splash of color! QAL"

I just started randomly join strips of fabrics and putting a color strip from time to time :) it is very relaxing and mindless sewing :)

Theodore the tiger

This hansom beast is on my design wall This week and growing nicely :)

and I finally have everything on hand to start experimenting with water marbling on fabrics

Those  are my first results :)

Making pin cushions with those fabrics. My next step is marbling fat quarters!!! I need a bigger tray.

Tigers and strips

This week, in the "Splash of color QAL" It is Cutting your fabrics week. After a few minutes of petting said nice fabrics, I just decided to cut 2" strips. My black and white bin of scraps is pretty much empty....

Those are the strips, and here is the tiger. I got the bundle from Bali Batik Iki and they are making a kit for those that want to produce this fierce Tiger :)

This is the start of the Tiger. I can't help myself and put eyes as soon as I can. It always bring the personality of my pieces :)

I think he will be amazing (if I can say so myself) 

Down the rabbit hole

A few weeks ago, my daughter had a day off school and with her best friend, we decided to try paint pouring technique. We had a load of fun and the girls results were very interesting for a first time. I still have to varnish before we can hang

It made me think about what I could do to bring colors to fabrics. I started Googling and looking at Pinterest!!!!

Big Mistake!!!!

I found water marbling and fell in love......hard. Both of these pieces are on paper from artist Susan Pogany

Can you imagine making quilts with fabrics looking like that! OMG!!!

Now those are professional made. I am just starting to get my toes wet. It is a lot of trials and errors because I am still trying to find the right consistency for the "water" and for the paint. I've ordered a few things and asked my dad to make me a few tools. I am determined learn this art and include it in my artworks.

And for a finish....here is the baby elephant finish!!!

Art with Fabric Blog hop

"Every quilted project is a unique piece of art, full of love, creativity and inspiration.

However, have you ever thought about how "traditional" art could be reinterpreted in a quilted piece?

(by "traditional" I mean anything that a non-quilter will label as art, like paintings, drawings, sculptures, architecture from all countries and all time periods).

To explore the endless possibilities of art-inspired quilted pieces I decided to organize another edition of this Blog Hop!

This edition has a special theme...

MOTHER EARTH!

When I saw that Alida choose Mother earth as the theme, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. Lately I have been attracted by sculptures because it is link to my own work on shades, lights and perspective. 

Enter the Australian Artist, Donna Marcus and her sphere work :)

This piece is called " Steam". I adore the work of light on the sphere shape and used it for my inspiration for my piece

"Vessel" 

This piece for me, represent Gaia.....the mother that feed and support us against this unforgiving universe. 

For this piece, I used my own "fractured image" technique using shades of blue to represent light and darkness. 

This piece has been FMQ by myself using my Q'nique 14+ mid arm and I used 40 w embroidery threads
