ReplyDeleteDear Lisa,
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet idea, to make it a kind of quilt-with all the small storyes of their own, -together making a beautifull and so special adventure.
As alwayes I fell in love with your art.
Have a happy week-end, dear.
Hugs, Dorthe
Wow Lisa, this is absolutely stunning and so "up my street". I too love rock pools and layers. I adore your colour scheme here too, the naturals
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend x
gorgeous work!
ReplyDeleteI see what you mean. Your piece has a similar feel to Carolyn's photo mosaic. Such exquisite work Lisa. I feel a yearning to go to the seaside to potter in tidal pools.
ReplyDeleteWow, this is totally gorgeous. x

ReplyDeleteYour art just leaves me speechless. Dawn (feathered nest) told me about you & I lurk daily. I don't know how you make all these fibers look so soft & amazing but it's beautiful! Lisa
The other day I was trying to imagine what a little quilted hanging would look like if the edges were left ragged and the colours were were soft and serene and I couldn't - and here is the perfect vision. This is just beautiful! I came from Diane Knott's blog and am now a Follower - love your work very much!
ReplyDeleteoooh, i have missed so much! you must think i'm a horrible flake this summer.
ReplyDeletei just adore this fantastically gorgeous piece! you are the queen of all things fabric, fiber, grape-viney or nesty. i am in love! i find myself wishing, ever time i look at your stunning art, that i wish i were a bazillionaire so that i could consign you a few times a year to make me a piece of your magnificent art. LOVE this!
This is wonderful
ReplyDeleteGlad to find you through Diane at Diane Knott's Musings

Delicacy with underlying strength. A beautiful analogy for the tidal pools. Each square a tiny statement portraying the ebb and tide of marine life .Lovely Lisa.
ReplyDeleteabsolutely stunning work Lisa! I love the monotone color pallet that pulls the viewer in for a closer look at the treasures and tidbits!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful... - you have a very unique gift in melting the soft and the rough + rusty think... - I´m posting about your silk fiber today, hope that´s ok with you...;)
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa,
ReplyDeleteThank you dear one for your faithful visits to my place. I will gear up to show a bit more of my home, I have been a bit reserved in that area, and really did not want to make this about me but more about inspiring the small things in life that make our hearts sing.
I am in love...enamored with your art. I would love to sit and create with you. I am getting ready to post soon some of my altered art, the fun stuff that shows the altered ego part in all of us when we find that side of us :)
Thank you so much Lisa for your endearing friendship.
xoxo
