Dandeneau's Field - in Progress



This art piece is still in the working stages- The inside measurements are 12"h x 34"wide. I was drving by this corn field near my house when I saw these heavy grey storm clouds. I went home and started sketching what I saw. The actual scene has a farm house and trees along the horizon. This is my interpretation but there is something missing. The lines on the white image are green. In the clouds there is silver free hand stitching which may be hard to see. I know this is my interpretation- but I'm stuck and open to suggestion. Posted by Picasa

Bandeleir's Ladder- Journal Challenge 2006 for July


This is my interpretation of my own photograph taken at Bandeleir National Monument - New Mexico. The actual cave area is in sandstone and browns-- yet the camera took it as a black and white, which I love to do. Posted by Picasa

June 2006 Journal Quilt Challenge

This could have one of three names- "Baby's Blue Bottom"-- "Blue Bottom Baby" or " Blue Baby's Bottom". Let me know which one you like. We could have a vote. This was great fun. The rose fabric on the left fanny could be considered -- "a fanny smelling like roses"". It is my artistic license. Each of my journals teach me something new- this time it was color value. But I enjoyed this one the best of all the journal quilts. Posted by Picasa
