Heavy threadpainting is not my normal MO. I have done a few pieces, including my bust puffin I mentioned above, but I find it very time consuming and usually I like the look of thread sketching better. It lends a lighter, more free look.
With that said, here is my newest puffin and I think my all time best!
Marti.. this is exquisitely done. The threadpainting is superb, and I love the background fabric.Great job of the rocks, too.
ReplyDeleteYou should be pleased.
I think this is a wonderful piece. Your thread painting is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Marti,
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely a first class thread painting. Really lovely.
I have done one thread painting. Thrilled with the results, but as you said, it is very time consuming. Not sure I will do another. However, now we have this in our tool box to use if\as needed.
Beautiful piece! The background fabric and the rocks are perfectly done as is the thread painted puffin! Congrats.
ReplyDeleteThanks all for looking and your comments!
ReplyDeleteMarti -- the puffin, the rocks and the water are all outstanding. Great job!
ReplyDeleteA technique I am still wanting to try, dabbled a bit already, but this is inspiring! Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteYour thread painting is terrific, but I'm especially taken with your watery background. Did you paint this fabric yourself?
ReplyDeleteThis is a great piece... He is so cute and the background fabric is wonderful...
ReplyDeleteMarti;
ReplyDeleteThe threadpainted puffin is beautiful will I see it at a show? I like to thread paint too but I agree on the too time consuming part. There was a great thread sketching article in Quilting Arts Magazine I learned a lot.
Marti.. thanks for you comment on my blog.. I hope your Tuesdays remain in your heart.. I love your quilts by the way... He is soooo cute..
