CRITTERS FROM THE COVE: FABRIC PAINTING

This large quilted wall-hanging fabric painting was undertaken as a parallel exploration while I was working on the porcelain tile mural, Forest Lake Critters.
Each panel of this work consists of a 5" x 7" white cotton fabric segment on which one of six selected Forest Lake wildlife images is photo silk-screened, including frog, turtle, loon, dragonfly, small mouth bass and white perch.
Each image is enhanced and provided with intricate detailwork using hand-painting with fabric paint.
The finished cloth segments are stitched together, the composite work is bordered, backed and quilted.
Date: 2011.

CREATIVE PROCESS

Fabric paints applied over silk-screened frog image on cloth.

This is the first panel of a large quilted wall-hanging fabric painting, composed of a number of individually-made cloth segments.
A photo silk-screened image is transferred to a white cloth panel.
Fabric paint is then applied over the silk-screened image to enhance the colors and add details.
