My Big IdeaPart of my uni course I needed to produce a large piece of art a 'big idea'. This was my big idea a portrait quilt, a quilt that showed all the bits that had made me, me. Looking back on these pictures I'm really proud of what I produced I'm also amazed at how my life has changed in 3 years. Back then I was a single mum studying to be a teacher. I'm now married, new buba and wondering what is next.
I spent many hours working on this there is a whole variety of textile techniques using painting, dying, screen printing, applique.
Piecing it together
The back of the quilt is large piece of hand felting that I loosely stitched.
A bit about me… I’m a wife, a mother of three kids, I’m a Christian, a teacher, I cook, I clean, I sew, I paint, I garden. I'm a contradiction of myself, I eat too much drink too but try to keep healthy, I get cross with my husband, I don’t always have enough patience with my kids. I get caught up on the stupid details of life and sometimes forget about the importance of the big picture.
This blog is my blog, my space to share, to rant, a place to create I hope you like what I am doing and would love you to follow along.
Such a great idea
