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.

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 🙂
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!
I love the colours and detail as the sprouted onions. What do you think of mine?
