I am starting the quilting process on a 12" x 12" piece that will become part of the 2015 SAQA ( Studio Art Quilt Associates) September Auction supporting the advancement of the Art Association. When you attend a major show like Houston International and see large gallery exhibitions, you can know some part of this to be auctioned piece helps makes that happen.
The quilt top is a custom giclee print (of one of my oil paintings) on fabric. I am working on silk so you will see sheen on the surface as light reflects like crazy... a good thing! I am starting here to lay in some thread work in the mane and face. The question for me these days is what NOT to quilt. Click on photos for enlarged view
I am saving the white areas and white thread til last... almost there.
The white areas of the mane are fun and stand out the way I intended in the original painting..... BUT... I think it needed a tiny bit of securing so as not to stand apart too much.
He is pretty well secured. Next post I'll work on the luscious red and black silk background.
