Sunday Afternoon

Kathy asked in a previous comment how this was made. It is sheer fabric attached to a frame then matte medium was applied to both the front and back. When that dried I went to work with acrylic paints, dynaflow, rubbing alcohol and water. Then I created folds that I stitched together. Now the free motion quilting is progressing with more to be done. This is very sensuous when seen in person. I think I will try to create more of these pieces and submit them to a gallery for their consideration. I doubt they'll have anything similiar.

Denise - you just amaze me with your creations!!! Even when I read how you did it - I can't think "oh I'd like to try that" because you are so amazingly gifted and skilled!

I love that Lupine piece at the top too!!! Thanks for sharing your creativity with us!!!

Denise, the stitching is really making this start to "take shape"! Looking good!

This is gorgeous, Denise! How I wish I'd paid attention when my mother tried to teach me to sew! :)
