Ontotlogy Of A Rabbit (c) 2012 Kit Lang
I lucked out on my bag with a beautiful rust-printed fabric and a stunning snow dyed poly-silk. The challenge part of the bag for me were the beads! Those who read my blog regularly know that beads are my Waterloo. I am never able to use them in a way that pleases me, and inevitably, even if I spend hours and days applying them, I end up removing them in the end.
This time, I loved the beads, and so they stayed.
There was also Lutradur in my bag - and I had never used it before. I painted it and used it for the bunny's nose and eyes. There was also Japanese paper, which I used to delineate the bunny's wings
This little rabbit is very much outside of my oeuvre and unlike anything I've made before (or am likely to make again) but I'm very happy I did!
Thanks so much for stopping by, and do check out the other work submitted in the festival. Thanks so much to Amy for hosting again!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great art quilt with such wonderful detail. Thanks for explaining your process. I love it!
ReplyDeleteI love all the texture! what is the fabric in the wings, is it the paper? I love a challenge!
ReplyDeletehi Loris - sorry I couldn't respond to you - you're a no-reply blogger. I used suede (well actually, the back of some gold leather) and paper for the wings.
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming by!
Thanks Kit, I thought I had fixed the no reply part... I will look again
ReplyDeleteThe texture of the wings reminds me of kuba cloth, it's really lovely.
