The simplicity of each element and the way they work together makes this a very special piece.<br /><br />Photographing art quilts is challenging. I had hoped Heidi Adnum's book The Crafter's Guide to Taking Great Photos would be a help, as it was touted in Quilting Arts, but it ignores textiles for the most part. I struggle with this issue. Getting the colors right is really a problem so perhaps white is less of a problem. Getting the right lighting to show texture is another problem. <br /><br />Congratulations on a very successful new work.<br />Julie-Anne<br />www.julie-annemcdonald.comJulie-Anne McDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06351643270284326689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060853558179424501.post-27203387685309703712012-03-29T16:35:38.096-04:002012-03-29T16:35:38.096-04:00I liked the subtle use of foil in your piece, and ...I liked the subtle use of foil in your piece, and I liked the surprise of discovering the gripping hands in your design.

The circular foiling/shibori is interesting but I'm not sure how it relates to the handgripping imagery.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060853558179424501.post-81724112843865535192012-03-28T00:27:38.350-04:002012-03-28T00:27:38.350-04:00Beautiful work.

Maybe offsetting them so they went out of the "frame" (like the larger motif) to subtly lead the eye in a circular pattern?Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04827945914780140597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060853558179424501.post-85973514328048711332012-03-27T15:23:21.025-04:002012-03-27T15:23:21.025-04:00I've always thought foiling made pieces look &...I've always thought foiling made pieces look 'tacky'.

I'm not a fan of the foil though, to me makes it look ............ mmmh, looking for a word - ruddy is the first thing that comes to mind so that's what I'm going with. You do like to play though, so go for it :)landscapeladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06171710172237668286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060853558179424501.post-72984645834075735922012-03-27T07:18:38.155-04:002012-03-27T07:18:38.155-04:00A curious process and I like how you're descri...A curious process and I like how you're describing it as it unfolds. <br /><br />I've been stopping and photographing things I'm working on lately too. Awhile back I brought my handy wee camera into a danger zone and something got into the works so I had to replace it. I'd hoped to revert to my older SLR digital, but apparently it, too, had irreparably been harmed. A camera memorial service was called for...<br /><br />Now, it seems, I am NOT photographing the process, so seeing yours has re-inspired me!!<br /><br />Fascinating!!Currie Silverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16502798362838891569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060853558179424501.post-90324766916816808392012-03-27T06:21:34.785-04:002012-03-27T06:21:34.785-04:00I love the idea of the shibori method to add the f...I love the idea of the shibori method to add the foiling. It is great!<br />Quite often I do work inspired by the Middle Ages. I think that idea would be quite exciting for making a'halo' rather than a solid disk of gold. what kind of glue do you use for the foiling?<br />Sandy in the UKSandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04978514536651961190noreply@blogger.com
