Finished!
Although BSP said this piece was like champagne, to me it seemed like the way an aria would look if you could see it as it came out of someone's mouth - so I called it Un Petite Chanson (A Little Song). However, I should have called it "Rorshack Test", given the comments this week as I was making it! :)
BSP seemed quite confused by this piece, feeling that it was quite a lot outside my usual oeuvre - but to me it seems very much like Flotsam Meets Japan - only in a more monochromatic palette.

One of the things I love about this piece is that it can be hung either way, depending on how it will fit in your decor!
So pretty - even if I do say so myself!
Have a great weekend and I'll see you on Monday with more new beginnings!
Linking up with the Thank Goodness It's Finished Friday, hosted this week by Amy at Craft Shenangians (what a great name!) and Off The Wall Fridays - a new link party for fabric artists.

Kit - this is very pretty. I can see it in a bedroom somewhere. Hilary x
ReplyDeleteWow that is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteKit I LOVE this, is gorgeous! It remember me the floating plancton in the sea!
ReplyDeletewonderful!
lol Thanks Silvia. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the visual of this being sound coming out of a mouth! Of course,me?... I would see the champagne or plankton!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you did some close up shots. I could spend a lot of time looking at all the details. Gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteThis is one beautiful piece! Very inspiring!
ReplyDeleteDid you say how you'd put these layers together? I couldn't find anything about that, but then, I'm getting to the end of being able to sit here and losing my browsing strength. I'm specifically wondering how the cut edges will hold up to washing. I love the idea of this and the look right now is amazing!! It looks like it was a lot of work too. What is in the future for this piece?
ReplyDeleteI also wanted to say that I'm encountering many websites that offer a different presentation format, like yours. You're all tempting me to try something different.
Hi Rita, answering here in case anyone else wants to know:
ReplyDeleteI put the layers together like you would a normal quilt - the top is raw edge applique - so I first fused the pieces down, and then sewed every piece down individually by machine with invisible thread. It was indeed a lot of work! lol
As for the future - if someone wants to buy it, I'll sell it, otherwise, I'll hold onto it until an appropriate show comes up - or, I've actually been thinking about hanging it in my *own* home, framed under glass - thus far, only one piece of mine is hanging in our house, but I really like this one. :)
The piece looks French to me, and I envision chocolate and caramels. It's very dainty and lovely.
ReplyDeleteThanks Carol. :)
ReplyDeleteFabulous! I love it!
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful, Kit. I love your choice of the warm monochromatic colour palette and especially the concept of it being a visual rendition of an aria :))
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! My first impression was being under the sea, with bubbles and octapus's (? not sure what the plural of octapus is!)
ReplyDeleteLovely and delicate...definitely a French or Italian feel. I can see it as a line of fabric!
ReplyDeleteI love this! It is very whimsical and pretty too. The detail is striking, and I can see why some people are reminded of the sea. Very nice.
ReplyDeletei like this piece a lot! this is a nice rhythm to it and I totally can see it as a visual aria.
ReplyDeleteI will call it "Under the Sea" because that is where it takes me. When I first saw it I actually said, WOW. Really!!
ReplyDeleteWow. What an amazing piece of art. I love it.
ReplyDeleteThis is remarkable - I love it!! Thank you for linking up to TGIFF :)
ReplyDeleteKit, your quilt looks absolutely gorgeous! Now I'll have to check it out how did you make it, it looks so unique. Great job and thanks for sharing! I found you through Crafty Shenanigans' TGIFF :)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely ADORE this piece! The color, the shapes, the quilting...it makes for such a delightful texture. This might be my favorite of all your quilts!
ReplyDeleteI have done quite a lot of machine applique around fused pieces. It is A TON of work--especially the sewing around all those little circles. I can sure appreciate the work on this piece. Very nice. I like the muted color palette. It does look like something under the sea to me. It looks like the Beths are in agreement!
ReplyDeleteI love it:) I like all the brown shades. Very pretty.
ReplyDeletegaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa - omg that knocks me out. How gorgeous! I could stare and stare ; )
