This is going to be this years contribution to the silent auction in Houston. I started painting this at the Quilting Arts virtual studios during the IQA Chicago show.
I pulled it out yesterday and started the quilting by outlining all the images. After quilting all of the black area I will trim it and finish the edges. I am thinking about using this aqua rick rack with another 1/4″ ribbon to finish it off.
My son is starting to get calls for appointments with reporters for the origami exhibit. Yesterday we had a Chicago NPR reporter in our loft interviewing him for 40 minutes. I was so impressed, this guy had that NPR reporter sound and asked him great questions. Next week he has an interview with a reporter from a Chicago neighborhood newspaper. He is pretty surprised that he is getting this kind of attention. I don’t think he realizes the extent of what a big deal it is to be in a major college gallery show at 13.
Judy: that is so COOL! I love that he’s surprised by the attention. AND of course, more celebrity encounters at the Perez residence. Sheesh!
Wow that is very cool for your son!
I love your little quilt! your images are so bright and sharp. Mind if I ask what kind of paint you use?
