One of our art group members suggested we open our refrigerator and use what we see as inspiration. I used this opportunity to try a few new techniques. Golden acrylic products include a product that causes their acrylic paints to bleed and spread on fabric. I started this piece with a white foundation painted with Golden Flow and green acrylic paint, making heavier coverage in places.
Using upholstery fabric I thread painted and appliqued artichokes, fabric peas and cucumbers covered with shiny organza to make them appear wet. I finished with pea vines and appropriate quilted details. It was a very whimsical piece, a big stretch for me. I love the painting technique and I am very satisfied with the final result of our refrigerator inspiration.
