How to improve your next Abstract Art quilt.
Improve your next art quilt by adding color. First of all,I enjoy abstract art. Moreover,I am drawn to bright colors and textured lines. While representative art is truly eyecatching. Nonetheless, I choose not to make art of something that someone can take a photograph of. In contrast,my abstract art quilts highlight my mantra, Color! Texture! Movement! Similarly,the high end fabric samples from decorators inspire me to use them in my abstract art pieces.
Color
For example,here are some bold pieces using mainly commerical cottons in this abstract art quilt.
Meanwhile,Sunset Through the Forest has artist made details. Finally, decorative yarns to add 3D effects and texture in this abstract art quilt.
Improve your next art quilt with Texture
Furthermore,almost all of the fabrics in Desert Sands are new discontinued samples in this abstract art quilt.. To clarify,texture comes from the contrast between the silky and thicker fabrics. In addition,tucks add texture to certain fabric too.
Most importantly, the monochronamic blend of fabrics, Tranquility has a calming effect. Fnally, special stitches add interest.
Improve your next art quilt with Movement.
In addition, the commercial fabric with the brown markings shouts movement. Furthermore,curved line piecing and scribble quilting adds another layer. For example, I started with this fabric. Then,I chose fabrics with similar colors.
Finally, it is difficult to see the top fabric in the final project,Spring Break. But it is there.
Another Example of Fabric with Movement
Here is another example of movement created by black and grey dogs on the fabric. At first, the curved lines attracted my attention. The artist in me didn’t even see the dogs. Then I couched threads on the material and cut it up. Finally,the tree branches show movement but none of the original dogs.
In Conclusion
In conclusion, a unique variety of discontinued fabric samples inspire me to create my abstract art quilts. Finally, I aim to include color, texture and movement in each of my abstract fabric art pieces. Thank you for letting me share some of them with you.
