This is a personal piece. It's many small quilts, each one about me in some way. Each tiny quilt tells a story. Together they create a profile of who I am. The quilt is quite heavy because it is held together by a network of beads.
The two detail images I've spotlighted:
"He Loves Me. He Loves Me Not" — Each petal of the flower alternates with a real-life example of how he loves me or of how he loves me not.
"I Want 2 Kids" — the number and words are stamped with paint. The tiny dolls are wired so that their limbs are "pose-able." You can just see the blue bread tag that holds the imaginary future child's name.
I love this!!!!! Working with small pieces, then figuring out how to join them together is way cool. Very expressive and heartfelt.
(By the way, I love your CPS video also – I’m a fan!)
This is gorgeous! what beautiful details and work! Thank you for sharing. 🙂 🙂
Love it – it’s so inspirational.
Julie–this is GREAT!! I love all your work, and the videos are very inspiring, too! This personal “art-quilt” has made me want to do something similar…Hmmm…now I’m thinking, which is why I love you so much! You get my creativity juice flowing! 😉 Thanks so much; this is the best art piece I’ve seen in a long while!!
