May/June 2014 Challenge: Art Challenge Results

 This challenge was to create a sewing project that was influenced by a traditional discipline of art.

Jan was inspired by this article (Quilting Arts #64)...

Sue B.

Sue used this image as her inspiration

She rust dyed, then over dyed and stenciled this silk yardage. We can't wait to see what she makes with it!

Brenda

Brenda started with an idea from the Pattern Magic book

She drafted an oval version of the pattern... 

and added embroidered shells in the middle

you can see the depth better here.

She did this too--its the same technique Jan used--and since she completed two projects:

Brenda gets the over-achiever of the month award!!!!

Katherine

I was inspired by graffiti and architecture....

to create this fabric collage. More at my blog Room for Sewing.

This was a busy month. We deserve a break. See you in July at Sue B's.
