The challenging part is putting them together in a meaningful way.<br />And I’m finding the color studies to be both meditative and informative. I’ll definitely be posting photos of those on instagram. I’m following the exercises in a book by Richard Mehl called “Playing with Color”.Regina B Dunnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14377568746998756667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-667082763150478419.post-33999449390776604782019-08-30T22:37:13.642-07:002019-08-30T22:37:13.642-07:00You've got some really neat stuff going on Reg...You've got some really neat stuff going on Regina. Your color studies are lovely in themselves! I hope you'll post more about that process with additional photos at some point.<br /><br />I also like the way the stenciled motif travels across 2 different fabrics in that green piece.Ellen Lindnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13943770269651168362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-667082763150478419.post-43751620597739246192019-02-11T10:28:55.580-08:002019-02-11T10:28:55.580-08:00I could see marvelous designs and deep concepts co...I could see marvelous designs and deep concepts coming from mathematics.

I devoured those books when I was a certain age. And what a good use you are putting them to! I envy your acquisition of a thermofax machine because that has always been beyond my budget, although right now I am happily pursuing two main series both based on techniques that don't involve much printing, but since a concept seems to keep recurring for each, they may be fast becoming concept driven as well.Madalene Axford Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03235658024108740972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-667082763150478419.post-19232013515948847052018-12-22T06:39:02.403-08:002018-12-22T06:39:02.403-08:00I too have been giving away older work.

I find there is a certain amount of time after I first make something that I can't dream of parting with it but after a time that goes away. It makes me happy when someone is thrilled to be gifted with something I made.<br />Mary AnnMary Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09730565046098435178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-667082763150478419.post-2412206659420173212018-12-09T01:55:06.470-08:002018-12-09T01:55:06.470-08:00One of the things that spurred me to give away the...One of the things that spurred me to give away the art was an article I read about how children and relatives often don't want our things after we are gone. It was titled "No One Wants Your Stuff". I began to think about the meaning of our stuff. If it makes me feel good, then I should keep it and enjoy it. If not, let it go to someone who it would make happy.

So I used the rotary cutter to square up the quilt, removed the underside layer of the binding, and then painted the resulting raw edges. Having a raw edge only one layer of fabric thick, made it easier to fuse to the felt. Now it has a less quilty look and more of an arty look.<br />Stars Unlimited could be a good title.
