"World" challenge

Last February (2013) our art group decided to do a challenge to be exhibited in the Nov-January show.  We were to each show our version of the world in an art quilt, 40" x 28".  We have ten pieces hung the length of the wall facing the library conference rooms.  They are stunning. Each piece is different in technique, vision and message.  We are very proud of the challenge results.

I did a whole cloth quilt - Alpha and Omega.  The continents and major islands are fused applique of silk fusion which I made at Tamara's shop/studio.  The edges of the continents and the map are highlighted with Shiva oil stick. Biblical references from Genesis and Revelation are printed on the fabric.  The Tree of Life is quilted over the map to encompass the whole world.  The leaves are made of organdy to be transparent.

Here is a picture of my entry. I wish you could have seen all ten together.  They will be hung at Wild Heather in April.
