Silvery Moon (detail)
2004
24w X 20h'
Silvery Moon became a representational work when I hung my specially colored hand dyed cotton cloth on my design wall and saw a horizon line.

Many layers of fabric paint, shimmering fabrics, and netting were added.

Metallic thread using both hand and machine embroidery

developed the narrative.

Hand beading embellishes the sky

aiding the moonlight reflections through the lower trees.
In the PAQA tradition of encouraging the members to explore new territory,

this seventh PAQA challenge explored a single color.

The requirements were simple.

Each participant was randomly assigned a color.

Quilts had to "read" that color and be no larger than 24" per side.

Happily my assigned color was a favorite, purple.
The show traveled for 2 years

TEMPTATION ON THE HALF-SHELL

Art Quilt Collage

Year Completed: 2002

Inspired by Ellen Anne Eddy’s book

Thread Magic, http://www.ellenanneeddy.com/

I set out to teach myself free motion machine embroidery.

I should have kept track of the hours and hours of stitching

and the spools and spools of thread,

but I was too absorbed in the learning process

and keeping my fingers away from the speeding bare needle !!!

Additional techniques used in this artwork include;

fusing, padded applique's, layered embroidery.

Embellishment with beads and seashells.

The background fabric was discharged and then over dyed.

She is not for sale at this time; she has places to go and things still to do.
