Today's topic for Mixed Media Monday is "The Games People Play". I just happened to be in the process of making this cloth-paper mini quilt and found the perfect words for it in a vintage children's textbook. This is my first submission for MMM. Hopefully it won't be my last.
The background is painted canvas cloth with flourishes a'la bandanna style. The heart is paper-cloth zig-zagged on the canvas with the vintage text words glued on. There is a little bit of batting in between the canvas and backing to give it that puffy quilt feel. It's really small though, about 4" x 4". It was really fun to make, I'm already planning my next one!
This is lovely, Lisa! I have such respect for quilting artists. It's beautiful. Thanks for stopping by my blog.

ReplyDeleteVery beautiful piece and I like the text, love is also a game - sometime.
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful, Lisa! I like hearts any which way, in this one the colors sing.
ReplyDeleteRegarding your comment on my blog - I live in a part of Germany where there is seldom snow. This is wine country and rather south. But this winter seems to point a nose to global warming.

Lisa ... this is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful! Have you heard of fat books or chunky books - 4" x 4" pages? I trade this size pages on yahoo groups. Some people, rather than combining them into a book, will hang them by ribbons, making a nine by nine page wall hanging.
ReplyDeleteTalk about hitting the ground running - nice work or should I say play? Lori from Sketchbook
