The Ice House recently hosted their 2010 Impressions art show. Roxanne F. entered her original quilted piece called "Images of Seasons Past." I'm pleased to say she won first place in the Mixed Media category.
The genesis of this wallhanging came from a class that Roxanne took last year at the Paducah AQS show. The class was taught by Esterita Austin and Roxanne learned to do fabric painting. From there her own creativity and talent led her to create the Images of Seasons Past. I have seen this piece in person and it's stunning. It looks 3D and has the appearance of a painting rather than a fabric piece. Roxanne used her machine to quilt it, and, as always, did a lovely job with it.
Here is what she had to say about it in a previous post:
This is a detail shot of the leaf. It is thread painting on organza using washaway stablizers. The branch is painted batik using Lumiere paint by Jacquard. The background fabric is a SkyDyes piece I got at the Paducah show in April. The free motion quilting is leaves in different Superior Threads.
Congratulations, Roxanne, for winning first place! I wonder what your next piece will be.
If you click on the pictures in the post, you can see an enlarged photo that really shows all the details. (I'd love to place pictures throughout the post at the appropriate spot, but so far I haven't figured out how to do that. SIGH!)
