Talk about art replicating fabric or is it the other way around. I purchased this fabric panel sometime ago as I was drawn to the bright colors and wonderful painted background look of the piece. I had thought I would add it to a quilted wall hanging, perhaps cutting it apart and adding fabric strips between the cuts. My next idea was to hand quilt the piece adding in beads and wonderfully colored threads. The last idea was to create a great tote bag as a gift for a good friend.
You see, that is my problem I tied my own hands as I had too many ideas and could not decide on which one to move forward with......and then life got in the way and I had deadlines to meet therefore with no direct home for this project I had to put it aside to work on the items that already had a home that they needed to get to as soon as possible.
Now is probably not a good time to bring this piece up again as Christmas is around the corner, I am taking a vacation in January with my wonderful husband and then there is CHA in Anaheim. I however still love the piece and am thinking of carefully pinning one corner to my bulletin board in my studio so that when I get time in let's see February I think perhaps I will make that decision and complete the project. I promise to post the results.
In the meantime, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone.
