Please give art a good home~
This 16" by 20" art quilt just came home from four shows including Cannery Row Studios, The Quilt Fest of New Jersey, Las Primeras Auziliary Quilt Exhibit and The Loft Gallery. It was made for an art quilt challenge entitled "Doing Small Things With Great Love". I chose to do a piece about breastfeeding, as I've breastfed my fourth children and found in the most meaningful thing I could do for them. My sister in law and nephew gladly posed for me to take photos.
Fabrics include hand dyed cottons, commercial cottons, silk roving, hand marbled fabric, hand felted wool, glass and opalite beads. The title is a quote from Shakespeare.The opalite beads are what inspired this creation, because I stumbled across them in a bead store and knew that they would be perfect droplets of breast milk!
I love working with fabrics, buttons, beads and other mysterious found objects. Embellished art quilts are the perfect medium for me and everything I love just comes together perfectly!I would love to see this hanging in a obstetrician or midwife's office! $365 Shipping is free in the United States or Canada~
