Letting Go (brown colorway)

 

"Letting Go," (brown) 20" x 28", handmade by Pam Geisel, October 2020

Last year I made a piece very similar to this one only the fabric has less brown in it. They are both from the same fabric: Robert Kaufman's Effervescence in the Gradation Gray colorway.


The piece last year was made from the left side of the fabric and this one was made from the right side which has more brown in it.


The fabric on both pieces feature lots of circles and are both on a black background that has tiny circles that are a tan/gray color.


Both have oval petal shapes that are arrange so the petals get darker as they move away from the center.


Both have nine full or partial petal outlines in the negative space on the left side.


Both have nine plastic brown buttons hand sewn in various parts of the quilt.


And both have a larger wood button in the center of the petals. The button on this piece is made using black locust wood (and the bark is still on the outside of the button.
