For the past two days I've the HUGE pleasure of taking a class with my mom at
Glacier Quilts. It was so much fun sewing next to my mom as we learned from one of the greatest quilt artists around:
Ellen Anne Eddy. Her ability to paint and draw with thread and fabric is eye opening, soul sounding, and just a blast! Mom worked on a heron and a dragonfly, and I pulled out a sketch I have been carrying around for some time of a little fish. I've never been quite sure what I wanted to do with it....until now.
Here is how my fish started....just a little sketch.....
and I could never had imagined just how cool it would become.
I'm not done with my project yet, but I feel like a whole new door has opened up for a way to play with this art form. (and just in time for winter!...the perfect time for curling up with a blanket as you sew away) Thanks Mom for sharing such a great opportunity with me, and for giving me my love of art in all mediums!!!
