Only On the Surface - Quilt of the Week

 

"Only On the Surface," 16" x 14", handmade by Pam Geisel, August 2019

I made this piece two years ago as a challenge by the Textile Art Group to be inspired by a photo of lichen on a rock that Corrine, one of our members, shared. Several of us made pieces that we hung together and it was interesting to see how we all had different results even though we started with the same inspiration. 

Since this group has a show every two years, I'm currently getting ready making new items for the next show, which we will hang in just one month at the Winds Cafe in Yellow Springs (during most of September and October in 2021).

This piece features free motion quilting and embellished with lace, glass beads, and metal beads.

Surface design is common with art quilts and is defined as artwork and embellishments applied to the surface of artwork to enhance its visual appearance, so I thought using the quote from a Joe Walsh song was appropriate.

Because this is the Quilt of the Week, it is 10% off the original price of $80 through 8/8/21 if you purchase directly from me. Details can be found here.
