Here are a couple I made earlier - above, trying to convey the pleasurable feeling of warm soapy washing-up water; and below, a rainstorm - 
The rainstorm started with a monoprint on the splodgy dyed fabric (a black dye that separated out into component colours), and the grasses are two different threads on the top layer, rather than the colour being changed by the dark overlay. And you're right, I should have been more careful with getting the gold piece straight....
I didn't think that about the gold piece at all in fact I think the whole piece is lovely!!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with karol-ann. The gold piece is fine and fits in with the theme of being blown in a rainstorm. I love this quilt!
ReplyDeleteLove them both, Margaret - just my thing.
ReplyDeleteYes, the gold adds a little contrast to the straight lines.
ReplyDeleteThe first photo of washing up bubbles is very appealing, you have captured the 'lift' or rising up of bubbles very well.
So, I'm not the first , but I think this piece wouldn't have had so much life if you'd got the set square out and lined everything up.
ReplyDeleteYour rain pieces are developing all the time - isn't it time to translate them into a storm, i.e. a larger piece of work?
Ah, Margaret, these are lovely. The rain piece captures the weather outside my window right now. I really like the 12x12 size, too. Been crazy-busy but glad to be catching up with you.
