Save the Beach
This is my first graffiti art quilt It was inspired by my teachers at the International Quilt Festival (July 2008) Traci Bautista and Lisa Engelbrecht. Lots of processes here. The base is a painted muslin. Then I collaged painted papers (including newsprint) and cloth. I then painted Mr. Pelican, wrote my message, then over painted, over stamped and stenciled and embellished with a vintage dandelion ribbon and vintage buttons. All of my art quilts have the ribbon, button and bead elements added. I just have to. I first did some pelican sketches and then took a big plunge to transfer it to the "poster". I am now looking for the perfect piece of driftwood to hang it by.
