Walls


"Walls" - 16" x 20"

I chose to use the idea of walls as barriers between people, rather than literal walls. Words are one of the causes of those barriers.

Methods used: Transfer of words using Transfer Artist Paper, fusible raw edge applique was used for the people and the walls, commercial and hand painted fabrics were used, red acrylic paint was applied with stamps, rayon and polyester thread was used to quilt the areas with words, the people were left without quilting. Many lessons were learned.

Thanks for the challenge Bea. I really enjoyed it and took the opportunity to explore a couple of new things.
