Watching in the Moonlight - Art Quilt
 

This was one of those pieces inspired by the material. I painted it and constructed it earlier this winter. I only added the crow at the last minute. It felt lifeless and empty for the 2 weeks it hung on my wall. Some may find it moody, but to me it has life and tells a story. Enjoy 32x40 in.

I like it. How did you make the skinny tree branches? Is it couching? Very nice detail & it looks so real.

I think your wall hanging is great and the crow does definitely add to the piece.

Love your wall hanging, fantastic branches!

The branches are twisted cord and wool. Some times I machine stitch using netting to capture the material but there was so much here, this time I hand stitched.

Oh my! It is almost as if you were looking out my window last night. Except there were three crows in my tree. Beautiful, very dramatic and perfect in every detail!

absolutely beautiful

beautifully done

A very fine project.

Stunning!!!

An owl would've been too predictable...perfect...crows are everywhere.

Beautiful quilt, very dramatic.

I love it, and the crow is perfect, very Stephen King-ish.

What beautiful fabric you dyed, and the needle work on the tree is amazing. excellent work.

You did great.

This piece is gorgeous. Of course, we would expect nothing less from you. I love seeing your posts. I still like the squirrel the best, but this might be second!

Oh, my! It's wonderful!

It is stunning, and the art is, that everyone sees something that moves them, be it drama, Stephen Kingish, amazing, every onlooker is touched by this piece of art. Thanks for showing it.

I really like your beautifully artistry! Maybe it is moody, but, it captures a special scene.

Wow! That looks Great!

I love it, there is so much to this quilt!

Love your new piece. The crow is just what it needed. Truly art.

I love it. ONe of my sister's favorite sayings is "It speaks to me..." and your wall hanging does. :)

Just beautiful! Looks so real

Beautiful. Very dramatic.

Love it! I am an avid crow-watcher, they are one of the most interesting birds out there. They are so family-oriented.

Very artistic! I like the proportions,colors, everything.

I find it hauntingly beautiful and serene.

Beautiful, makes me want to take a nap but it is only noon here so guess I better go back to work

The crow really did it! You are so talented!

nice wall hanging

Nicely done love the bare branch tree and the crow.

The crow was the perfect addition. Wonderful work.

i love the moon..............

Very nice work! I have to agree with you, the crow was a stroke of genius and I love the whole piece!!

Very nice art quilt. I see "The Man in the Moon".

I really liked this when you posted just the hand painted fabric with the moon but now that you are showing the whole thing, I can see why you wanted to continue on with your original plan. You had mentioned only the tree branches on your original post. The crow is just the right touch.

Now off to your blog to see if you described how you did those branches. Looks almost like some couching involved.

Beautiful, reflective and a little haunting. I love it.

I love it!
