Quilt No 4 !

Raw edge appliqué for the Bougainvillea, painted fusible web for the door, beads and french knots for the nails

I'll continue the same theme in 2015.

 

Quilt Number 3 : Thuburbo Majus, Springtime

Picture from an archeological site in North Tunisia. For the arch : rusted and commercial fabrics

The different prints are made with a lino block, and compressed sponge
The poppies seed heads are painted with Derwent watercolor pencils.

All four done!

All four finished!
They all comes of the same dyebath and for the back a had a commercial fabric, so they are the same too.
For this one I 've drawn some figures and they are raw edge appliqued. Some home made stamps too.

Some details

Blogger will not let me upload more pictures.

Last year the theme for the Art Quilts Around The World group was: "Opposites Attrackt" This was  A3 size.
I thought that I could use it again for my theme  People.. I've used the same figures, only bigger and a different background.
This fabric is also dyed with low-water immersion. I have four of them and I'm gonna use them all. So  I  changed my mind again and will make two more.
Letters and figures are drawn and colored with watercolor pens and textile paint.

In fact the colors are different. Gray/green and rost brown.

Finaly I finished my third one.
I used a hand dyed fabric (low-water immersion deying) and draw the text and the figure on it with a pencil and coloured them with watercolour pens.
As usual a LOT of quilting.  I found the text on internet.
