It makes me wonder, now, just how "casual" all those watercolour sketches I've admired in the past really were! It's been a lot of planning. :)Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12224346283881001640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-777082361967445123.post-79321655385314411722014-11-19T22:06:26.984-05:002014-11-19T22:06:26.984-05:00You have adapted the unpredictability of the paint...You have adapted the unpredictability of the paints quite superbly to the enhancement of your work. The bleeding of the blue around the birdhouse and the white inner border around the flowers all look "casually" intentional. What a lovely work of art!Seams Frenchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07783229116723144338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-777082361967445123.post-91442531795295818032014-11-19T22:01:19.585-05:002014-11-19T22:01:19.585-05:00Thanks, Jillian!

The great thing about setting yourself a big challenge, is that the feeling of accomplishment is equally large when it's done! I've been very grateful for your encouragement along the way. :DMonicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12224346283881001640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-777082361967445123.post-23270034834569666522014-11-19T18:04:48.988-05:002014-11-19T18:04:48.988-05:00It's been great to follow your learning on thi...It's been great to follow your learning on this. It could be a text-book case of how learning occurs. The result so far is terrific. I love the way your observation (eg iris colour) influences the design and the behaviour of the dyes influences the way you stitch. It's really intelligent work that reflects in the harmonious result. It's been stimulating to follow.

This quilt is going to be a definite work of art. It's very Matisse-looking already! The white background showing through is very typical of how fugitive water-based dyes or inks can behave. I love the look! Super, super job, especially for your first time using this medium.Kaarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13378359214056797658noreply@blogger.com
