It wasn’t such a big challenge to combine “Decay” with a kitchen theme. Just think about an abandoned kitchen and all sorts of decay come to mind. This time I choose this yellowish, rusty palette cause it goes very well with my vision of decays. I stitched many portraits of the kitchens so all the methods I used in this one are my all time favorites – applique, beading and a bit of embroidery.
I love the detail you have worked into this piece, and the colours you have chosen work perfectly for the subject, to give a feeling of decay. well done

Our artistic styles vary, but we share a love of art quilting, the desire to learn and experiment, and most importantly share and grow. Every 8 weeks members will make a 15 x 15 inch quilt based on colour play or a theme. The results will be displayed in the Artists Gallery.

Love the colour palette and the attention to detail. You have managed to give the image of a kitchen to be avoided!
Ha ha ha, yes, definitely! But it was fun not to care for it being tidy π
Despite the “mess” described in this kitchen, there is harmony in the way you treated the theme and your choice of colours ! nice piece of work !
There’s some harmony in decaying, abandoned places, isn’t it?
Good choice of colours that give a particular feeling of life despite the abandonment. Quilt well executed. I love it.
Delighted that you like it!
