| Gabriele Bach - My street |
When I read about the challenge "Space", my first thought were Houston, the space and "Star Trek". But space can also be my sewing room, a house or a street. That was the right idea. In the street where we live are some very colourful painted houses. Where are only row houses, all equally built 50 years ago. By and by the owners made their homes individual. Our street is well known in our little town because of its colourful houses. This street is the space, where I live. In Germany our community is one with the most densely population, so you could also title "no space".
My quilt is fused and machinestitched.
Everybody living in our town would immediately recognise this street. I love the almost wholecloth effect of your quilt with color only in most houses. What technic did you use to add the color?
ReplyDeleteGabi, this is very effective, with both the perspective and the fresh, spontaneous looking free motion sketching. The colour and the lack of colour work well.
ReplyDeleteI love the sketch look you have used here, and the colours take me right into the street. I can imagine being right there. Simplicity can be SO effective!
ReplyDeleteI love your quilt , it´s simplicity and still so expressive and strong. The perspective of the street leeds your eye up the road with the lovely colored houses.
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect match of line shape and perspective, this is stunning. You captured the essence of the street beautifully
