Nest-Sapphire Dream-Art Quilt Collectible-ATC/ACEO-OOAK

Description

Nest is from my Sapphire Dream series, a collection of items in blue hues using a mix of textured fabrics and a variety of art quilting techniques. I started with my Amethyst Dream series in purple hues and I am now jumping around the color wheel trying out other colors that strike my fancy.

It is an original one of a kind art piece. I will make no more exactly like this one. This is a great opportunity to collect affordable original handcrafted art!

ATC (artist trading cards) or ACEO (art cards, editions and originals) are meant to be collected and/or traded. The only real rule is that they measure 2.5 inches by 3.5 inches.

I quilted this piece with heavy interfacing between the layers so that it is stiff like a trading card yet it is made from fabric and not paper. It would really stand out when mounted in a black shadowbox type frame.

I first created a unique fabric by weaving a wide variety of cottons, satins, lames and fibers. I then machine quilted straight stitches using variegated blue thread. Next I added some new crinkle cut Angelina fibers and nested in a beautiful large blue glass bead.

I bound the edges with the blue variegated thread using a blanket stitch,. The piece has a small scale floral print back onto which I’ve attached my label. I have also titled and initialed the back. I put drafter's tape over my personal info for the picture (for privacy reasons) but you will get the card without the tape. :)

This would be a great addition to any collection or a wonderful gift for a friend.

Enjoy!
