Black and White and a hint of pink...



1. Rainbow Reflections, 2. Silver Tree

I love these as examples of how a hint of any some other colour can really bring a black or white/black and white image to life.  Not necessarily that "pop" of colour that interior designers talk about, but something more subtle...

So, last week, I was a little bored with what I was working on; and I pulled out this lovely piece of dupioni silk in this pale shade of Tiffany blue.

I'm not really a literal kind of quilter, but if I were - I would love to turn this photo into a quilt... the colours, the subject who uses his body as a piece of living art; the juxtaposition of colours and textures...  *le happy sigh*

(Monday post on Tuesday because I was away...)
This was the last of my "journeyman" quilts: the quilts I made when I first started quilting and was trying everything and anything - whatever I thought was pretty, or fun.   It was a good experience.  Not only did I learn a lot in terms of sewing; but I also learned what my style was, what worked for me, and what I wanted to know more about.
