21/52 Weekly Journal Quilt
This is my weekly journal quilt 21/52 2008. Whew. It was less frustrating than last week’s! I decided that this week I wanted to try to work with a color that I am not obsessed with in my art right now. Pink. I started with a beautiful section of batik for the background. Next I added the batik circles for the flower tops. I then added some stems and grass. I fused all of this down and then went downstairs to paint it a bit. I painted the dots around the flowers with a small stamp I made out of an eraser. Last, I painted the inside of the flowers pink with a circle from a pre-made rubber stamp, then a smaller circle in teal or purple with a foam circle. I enjoy how the pink stamped circles have rough edges that match the batik circles. Then, I went back upstairs (my dog follows) and quilted it to the peltex base. I added a plain back and zig-zagged around the edges. Viola!
This piece is for sale for $30 in my etsy shop.
