I didn't
have any idea right after announcing the next theme. As usual I‘ve checked “Wikipedia”
for starting point. But nothing have touched my mind and again I postponed this
quilt.
As most of
us noticed, time runs really fast and one week ago I sat down and started
looking for idea. Just one day before my husband came back from “eagle hunting”
and brought me a very soft feather. It was laying on the table and caught my
eye.
Any kind of balance is
so frail and sometimes even such a soft and almost weightless feather can break
it.
Beautiful quilt, Lyuda. I really like your idea and the image. The colours are really vibrant.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work Lyuda. I think your idea is unique and appropriate. Gorgeous colours and execution.
ReplyDeleteI like the circular cup idea, like a cup we call a balancing cup, because although it has a round shape, it always returns to a level place. The feather destroys that balance, so as you say, it is such a frail thing.
ReplyDeleteSo many thoughts come to mind when I read your statement and look at your piece, Lyuda: the unseen balance birds have on the air; the delicate bowl that looks like a feather magnified; a more tangible bowl with holes that suggest how balance can easily slip out of our grasp.... The list goes on and on. Very thought provoking piece!
ReplyDeleteI love the juxtoposition between the strength of the colours and the frailty of the imagery. Very clever.
ReplyDeleteColour, shape and contrast are all so striking in this piece.
ReplyDeleteIt is very contemplative indeed. Lovely!
I do like the richness of colour in your quilt and the lovely cut work on the bowl. A simple image that provides a great deal to look at
ReplyDeleteI like the color contrast and the imbalance (!) between the heavy bowl
ReplyDeleteand the so very airy feather.
