Sometimes, I just don’t know when to stop!! I wasn’t going to post this, but I think y’all should see what can happen when you do not leave well enough alone. I quilted this piece with some luscious amethyst metallic thread. I quilted random rain drops. I thought it needed something more. So I got out some violet metallic pearlex powder and mixed it with some textile paint thickener and painted in the rain drops. Didn’t have enough pizazz so I when I was in Michael’s, I found Amethyst Scribbles glittering 3-d paint. (I told you I don’t know when to stop!) I painted in the rain drops and when it dried, I thought "This is the tackiest thing I have done in a long time!" Here it is. I am sharing it with the blogosphere.
I think this will get cut up and made in to post cards!
This belongs in the quilt equivelent of “go fug yourself.” It’s a scroll down horror. Like I’m reading the post and thinking that it can’t be that bad, then I scroll down and indeed, it’s pretty bad. Thanks for the laugh and the thick skin for sharing! I have faith that you will turn it into amazing postcards!
Yeah… if 5 is good… then 30 must be better!!! But you’re right, this went from subtle art to shiny purple!!
Still, it will make nice postcards.
Don’t suppose the sparkly purple rain drops would peel off would they? 🙂
lol! so many crafting/artsy bloggers take themselves so seriously — i needed this today…thx so much! maybe the humor’s our age and remembering what really matters in the end?
Gerrie,
Did you see Debra’s latest post about how she handled some pieces that seemed “unfinished”? Pretty ingenious idea. Go to: http://astitchintime.blogspot.com/2005/10/experimental-studies-1-and-2.html
