The Making of an Art Quilt

November 13, 2016

I just finished Promise of Spring (I know, I know, it's the wrong time of year!)  I used the making of this quilt to document my art process.  You can find the link for the quilt here and scroll down to watch the video.

Enjoy!
Rachel

This is one of my digitally created quilts for my This is one of my digitally created quilts for my window series.  First image is the image created after hours of work in Photoshop cutting out backgrounds, adding layers and making adjustments.  Second image is the original image I took of the ornamental grass in my former backyard.  Third image is the original image I took of the former neighbor’s trees and rooftop.  Last image is the final quilt with the various images framed with silk and layered on the background image.
