I quilted it all with parallell lines and framed it with a simple black binding.

Jokulsarlon
My first thought when I red WILD was Tiger. My next idea was the Scandinavien equivalent, lynx. But I changed my mind, and wanted to go more abstract. So I decided to revisit a theme I have played with before. In Iceland, there is a lake filled with floating mini-icebergs from the nearby glacier. It is called Jokulsarlon, which means "glacial river lagoon". The lines, colour and texture are really fascinating. I painted some fabric in this wonderful green-blue kind of colour of the glacier, cut it up and pieced it together again, and layered it with a polyester kind of fiber, usually used in scrapboking, some of which were manipulated with heat.

Beautiful abstract imagery Greta. Your technique is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteGreta, you have achieved the perfect glacier blue in your dyeing. There is such a lot of depth there, and the quilting lines are the ideal partner for the abstract shapes.
ReplyDeleteI'm mad about this colour! Lovely work Greta. The texture is very interesting.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colours and textures. I love the "scrapbook" fibre you used. It adds wonderful lines to the piece
ReplyDeleteWhen first seeing this quilt I immediately know that it was Greta´s.
ReplyDeleteYour very simplified style gives your quilts strengths and interest.
The quilting is very well suited for your piece as are the added textures.
Fabulous colour - captures the imagery of ice, water and cold perfectly. this is one of my favourites. Wonderful inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThe colour is perfect for ice and water. The triangles are good abstractions of the iceberge. Looking at the detail pictures Iwant to see this piece in reality.
