Digital Image Journal Quilt


This is one of my digital images printed on my preferred fabric (see earlier post) and quilted.  The arms and fingers are heavily stitched because the fabric wasn't taut enough without it and this aided in shrinking the area a bit so it feels firm -- not 'mushy'.

Its interesting to see a digital creation in fabric form.  The medium has an effect on the piece.  I'm still figuring out what I think about that, but I observe that it is different.

Looking at the piece, I'm thinking I could have quite a show, if I did a quilt version of each one of the digital images I've done over the last year!

    you could easily have a show. I want to see more of them. I love the female figure in art. Good stitching, it's hard to know what to stitch on flesh, don't want wrinkled look but need something. LeeAnna Paylor

    I like this and agree that a series could make a show! Did you do any thread work on the face? I can't see it in the photo. It has a bold, clean look. I doodle on my IPad frequently.

Movie Review: Four Hands, Two Sonatas

Netflix has been advertising this limited Korean series recently added to the site's line-up.  The title peaked my interest.  So, I started watching it with no expectation other than knowing it was about two pianists.   I really liked how this Korean production was dubbed in English.  The English speakers (voice sound/tone/character) were terrifically cast as well as the timing of the spoken words' consistency with the mouthing of the Korean actors on-screen dialogue.   This series' storyline has a number of facets:  bullying, wealth vs poverty and access to arts training, musicianship, stage fright, competition, friendship, rivalry, sabotage, lack of confidence, revenge, etc.  The music is primarily classical and is lovely.   Four Hands, Two Sonatas is an off-beat show.  That said, I really enjoyed it (and the piano playing is terrific too)!  As a prior musician--there are many topics it brought up that I understand.   Overall, the...

New Project in Progress

I'm working on a new project with multiple layers and shapes of different colored organzas.  It is an interpretation of lighting on an ice rink...from a show I recently saw.  There is a lot more stitching to do, but I like how its coming along.  I'm learning organzas are not easy to work with especially when you layer them and have overlaid edges.  The fabric also tends to ravel easily.
