Margy's theme 'Leave Your Mark' has been a very special challenge
as we all leave our marks every day and in many ways.
Beside the mark we make through our children very few of us will leave a mark
that will survive even through few generations.
I have tried to capture mankind's ephemeral presence on earth in my quilt
by leaving my fingerprints on this pond.
Technique: Procion MX dyed cotton with stencilled acrylic paint.
Machine embroidery with tulle and machine quilting.
Other designs can be seen on my blog.
Gurli, this is so fabulous. The composition works brilliantly and the different stitch marks convey so much with so little. Perfection. Pity that we won't be seeing more of your work here.
ReplyDeleteGurli, this is beautiful, the colour scheme and stitched marks work perfectly to convey your idea
ReplyDeleteVery delicate and impermanent looking. Well done!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt, Gurli. Love to have it on my wall!
ReplyDeleteGurli what a fabulous quilt. Really gives a feeling of impermanence of human life.
ReplyDeleteAgain, a lovely subtle piece, Gurli!
ReplyDeleteThe delicacy expressed in your quilt is in perfect step with the ephemeral quality you were hoping to convey. Lovely!

ReplyDeleteThis piece is just so wonderful. Something that draws the eye back again and again.
