This treasure has inspired me in so many ways, so this is my tribute to what our ancestors left us. The green grass-grown mound above the surface, and the burial-ship with all its beautiful content under.

A really beautiful image. You always add interesting details with texture and line that make me want to look again and again.
ReplyDeleteA lovely soft colour palette, and you have shown the idea of ages of time passing with your textures and linen. I think this shows how different your cultural history is from ours.
ReplyDeleteI like your colour palette and your interpretation of the theme. One can really see the different soil layers.
ReplyDeleteYou have captured the essence of layers of history so well. There's a feeling of peace too. I love the simple graphic lines and details in this, it shows your style so well
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw the quilt I immediately understood that it was yours. The subtle sensitive and earthy colors and the simplicity in the design. You always have just what is needed and nothing unneeded in your works. Looking at the piece also gives me a sense of tranquility. A lovely quilt.
ReplyDeleteYour interpratation of the theme through theconcept of achealogy is really wonderful. Very stylish. Love the earthy pallete and hand work.
ReplyDeleteExcellent idea, Greta. I love your soft palette and use of shape and line, drawing us around the piece.
ReplyDeleteA nice, quiet piece. Immediatly I thought of Scandinavia and the viking ship, we saw in Oslo. But you showed clearly all lthe layers under which the old ships were buried.
