Art quilt
 

Hey all, Here's my most recent finish. It's about 30" x 38". It's part of a series that uses a number of mixed media techniques and materials. Thanks for looking,

Rob

Really nice! What method did you use? Hard to tell from the picture?

Watson

wow very nice!!!

Thanks Watson, the colorful part is a piece of Lutradur (a thick nonwoven fabric, sort of like Pelion, but smoother and more translucent). I used cardboard to which I glued beads and miscellaneous things I had sitting around the studio to make rubbing plates and used oil pastel to take the rubbings. The oil pastel was heat set and then I added fabric paints, Angelina fibers and Angelina sheets. Once that was done I couched some things to the surface and then played with the decorative stitches on one of my sewing machines.

To finish it I quilted the black background and then appliquéd the central piece to that and finished up with some Fmq in the central piece. I bound it using rat tail cording which is zigzagged around the edge.

Thanks Tartan and Quiltnmo.

really like this but want a close up picture!

I really studied this one. Very interesting.

I didn't know you could iron oil chalk and set it. Will it wash out? I like your piece. I keep trying to see if there is an image in there but I don't - just almost see a running horse - maybe moving through too fast to get a good image. I love the randomness and the color. The stitching looks great. I must have taken a lot of time to make.

This is precisely why you have to SAVE all your scraps! Well done!
