This piece is mostly thread painted, with a bit of applique, some underpainting and layering of sheers. I used around 16 bobbins of bobbin fill - that is one bobbin per square inch!!!
So..... I know you will forgive me if I haven't quite finished. I just need to finish the faced binding, but I am so tired after being up all night - and I need to get some sleep and be a bit fresher before I tackle that..
One day, I will actually complete something simple and uncluttered - maybe the next challenge? Didn't I say that last time.......?
You live in a most beautiful place!!! What a wonderful quilt... such detail!!! So many bobbins!
ReplyDeleteWow, beautiful Vicki! I especially like how you've created the moss in the foreground - I can just feel it. ditto to Lisa comment on all those bobbins!
ReplyDeleteOMG - You've done it again Vicki - left me speechless. I love this piece - your work and workmanship is so wonderful and inspiring. Those moss covered rocks in the front - I just want to reach out and touch them. You are granted a "Pass" from me on the fact that the bindings not done - I'm too busy picking my jaw up to notice.
ReplyDeleteVicki, I feel like I'm right there with you! This piece is amazing! Such wonderful talent for detail! and the thread painting...OMG I can feel the velvety texture of the moss. Stunning! I'm with Janet...you get a pass on the binding.
ReplyDeleteYou live in such a beautiful place, which inspires you to make this beautiful art work!! It’s truly amazing to see so much detail and I feel like I can step into the quilt to take a walk (or rather have a swim!).
ReplyDeleteI am amazed and astonished at the number of hours and amount of thread it must have taken to produce such a wonderful piece!
ReplyDeletethanks all for your lovely comments, I know I am good at thread art, but I find I am sticking to what I know instead of extending myself. I want to make more collage and abstract art, third time lucky? I am so in awe of all your works, because you all take an idea and make something so simple and uncluttered. I will learn from you, I hope.
ReplyDeleteVicki, your threadwork is amazing. I feel like I could reach my hand into the computer screen and touch the moss. What a wonderful tribute to the place you call home. I agree, you get a pass on the binding!
ReplyDeleteWow, Vicki, such detailed (and dedicated!) threadwork! You capture the elements of your landscape beautifully in this and I like how you chose to interpret the theme.
