SUNSET MOMENT - NEW FELTED WORK

By the time you are reading this....I'll be winging my way to present a lecture and workshop at the Champlain Valley Quilt Guild in Burlington, VT.  It will take 3 flights and nearly 10 hrs. to get there....the convenience of air travel seems to be going backwards!

Preparing for my final two teaching jobs during the month of November has been surprisingly distracting....therefore my accomplishments have been sparse. This little project is nearly complete.  Due to its uneven size, I've decided to mount it on a black silk noil covered canvas frame......and as soon as I get a frame the correct size.....I'll do just that! 
 I have almost zero drawing skills......however sometimes mapping out a rough plan is necessary when specific placement is required.
 The inspiration for the design came directly from this piece of hand felted and dyed wool I made about a year ago.
 The motifs are Ultra-Suede, machine and hand appliqued in place.
SUNSET MOMENT  15" X 9"

Well, that is quite lovely. I might have thought of the tree in silhouette but not the birds and certainly not the fence. A beautiful piece of felt, a beautiful result.

Hoping all the cancelled air flights I saw on the weather channel this morning has not effected your travel. Ten hours is bad enough, more stuck in airports you cannot get out of even worse.

Lovely. Did you have to stitch through ultra-suede?

Kathy said...

You've inspired me yet again! Beautiful, simple, compelling. You do such wonderful work.

To answer Judy's question. Yes, the ultra-suede is stitched to the wool....by machine on fence and tree, by hand on the birds.
