2015 : I've decided to keep my theme "Tunisia Past & present" and to enlarge my collection.

The Punic Tomb Stone
The stone is made with distressed painted felt (with hot gun)
The background : hand dyed linen
The birds are discharged.

Close up with quilting

Jerusalem mountains:

The Old City:

Atmosphere (collage with paper and Bedouin embroidery:

A religious person at the Kotel (the western wall) done with acrylic paint:

The fabrics used are her own hand dyed ones plus screen printed.

Two last pieces of my series

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
