Treehouse V
Treehouse V
Hand dyed and commercial cottons, fused, hand and machine quilted. 14.5x15"$250 Email me.
Lately I have been taking photos on the retaining wall to get lighting without having to set up lamps and then later adjust for color. This works fine usually, except I finished this piece before the sun was up and I had to wait.
I've got the quilt pinned to a piece of leftover styrofoam.
Treehouse V is a bit more multicolored, with just about a rainbow of fabrics in the striped pieces. To find the color scheme I collect fabrics that will coordinate with the main two colors, lime green and magenta and then extrapolate from there. It looks as though everything 'goes' with those two hues.
I love the drama of this particular version. The colors seem to pop out at you.

Did you have any idea when you finished the first Treehouse that it would become a series? I love the playful spirit of these and how complex they look despite the simple straight stitches. Just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYou are exceeding yourself! I love this one too. I think the magenta fabric looks kind of like the northern lights. I love the composition. It's a joyous, delightful piece.

My favorite so far.
ReplyDeleteAll in this series make my feet dance, but this one is my favorite!! Yum!
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw the quilt posed on the wall, the first thing that came to mind was that you'd put the Twin Towers on it. Then I looked again and it changed. Oh my!!
ReplyDeleteEileen! I thought the same Thing!
ReplyDeleteDo you know about the little houses of San Francisco that were built after the earthquake? They are tiny and some are still around - there is one between big buildings and this one just reminds me of it so much! I love this piece!
