Els Mommers – Nature #2
GEOLOGIC ROCKS no. 2
For this second piece in the NATURE series I used hand painted fabric for sky and sea.
Most of the rocks are made in the same way as I did for the first Nature piece. The rest of the rocks are made with tyvek. The surf is made with cellophane , painted with glitter, and shrunk between baking paper, just as I did with the tyvek. Over de cellophane organdie and tule with glitter is placed. After quilting, parts of the sea are treated with glitter paint in white and turquoise.
Mountains and a boat are appliqued and two persons are painted and appliqued also. In between the rocks is heavily quilted with black yarn to bring them more to the front. The crack are sewed with black yarn and some grass is machine embroidered in between the rocks.
Sea and air are machine quilted and some clouds got a little touch of silver paint.
The whole process can be seen on kunamola://blogspot.com
