I am looking forward to a week of kicking back and catching up with my self. I have been on the run since we came back from the desert. I am beginning to feel a little cranky. But, I have to remember that I am doing what I want to do . No one is holding a gun to my head!!!
The binding on the piece for Fiber Art for a Cause is almost finished. Tomorrow, in the daylight, I will take a final photo for Virginia. I took it to STASH today and everyone said it looks so different than it does on the web. It really is a very rich piece with some lovely vintage Japanese fabrics. Thanks to Dee, it has a proper title: Noshi Ribbons.
Tonight, I finished my piece for the SDA Off the Grid conference member’s show.
I have had the base fabric for some time. It was a brown fabric with orange in the mix that I discharged with torn masking tape resist. I added turquoise dye to the discharge paste. That orange glow always looked like a sunset through a fence. I added the other fabrics to the mix and call it Sunset Composition. I also added some hand-dyed Perle cotton to the mix. I need to sew a hanging sleeve to the back and get it ready for shipping before I leave for Eugene tomorrow.
I really like that color combination. I’m thrilled I gave you a good name. You’ve been so busy lately-take care and don’t wear yourself out too much. Remember to breathe…Love ya!
I like this a lot, Gerrie — strong composition and lines with a good unity. I can’t believe how quickly you make these pieces!!
Ditto, on the simplicity of the piece. It’s beautiful!
The quilting adds subtle interest to this piece. I like the vertical lines that mesh with the horizontal, then return to vertical and the addition of the hand stitching in the orange!
Kristin beat to the punch to gush over this piece! Wow, it is beautiful. I love that orange glow and how it is slightly echoed again in the lower left. Wonderful work Gerrie! Kick back and have some fun! Cheers.
I really, really like this — the colors, the composition, the simplicity, the fabrics! YES!
