Okay, so I know you'll be asking....

"What the heck are you doing with this stuff?"


Well, Quilt Art.com has this email list - art quilters from around the world are on it, and we all talk to each other about whatever we feel like.  :) It ranges from the nature of art to personal stuff and everywhere else - but the reason I have this stuff, is I'm participating in a challenge on the group - to make a quilt from unusal materials - no fabric allowed.

So this is some balsa wood cut into 3.5 inch squares, and after the jump is some  metal tape and mesh screen....


                          


This is a big panel of light plywood, drawn on and then scored to prevent the paint from running,


And this is the wood painted.
                          
Tommorrow - you'll see how I put these (and other) elements together, to make an unusual materials quilt.

'Til then....

    Oh darn you for leaving us dangling in the middle of a project this cool. Please make sure you post a link of facebook when the rest of this quilt is posted. Looks wonderful and I am bummed that someone has already laid claim to it. I would love to hang this in my house.
