Marks




I have already been writing about the theme and what it means for me ... and the problems I had in the last two months on focusing on my work. But voilĂ  - here is my first piece: MARKS. Below you can see a detail shot and the source of inspiration: one of the old stone houses in my village.

Construction: digital photos (not manipulated) printed on cotton plus one commercial fabric. Free motion quilted and hand embroidered.

This piece might be the starting point for a series of WALLS quilts.
