The leaves each have such depth. The paintsticks were a great way to save a background fabric that you found didn't work. They really bring out the stitching. The quilt is very "Terri."<br /><br />I wouldn't have guessed the second quilt was yours. I love how you created your own fabrics by piecing together all the different choices and then created the light values by adding paintsticks. I love the energy of the radiating lines!Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11561464255559358535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-64810227938801948632011-01-13T07:16:34.304-08:002011-01-13T07:16:34.304-08:00These are such excellent examples of what you can ...These are such excellent examples of what you can do with a Paintstik. As you mentioned, it's so interesting to see an echo of the pieced fabric under the circles created with the rubbing of the Paintstik. I love the whole idea of adding additional design after the quilting is done. You also really nailed the color palette and you do such a great job of combining beautiful prints in your work. Though they may be a bit of a departure from your style, I still think they totally read "Terri!"Deborah Boscherthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15630878222793439712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-45342193872749512592011-01-12T17:40:06.277-08:002011-01-12T17:40:06.277-08:00These pieces are both un-Terri!

Very original and very intriguing. I could look at it for a long time.

However, if I was to choose, I would favour the second piece. It is so intriguing and has such colour and movement.Brenda Gael Smithhttp://serendipitypatchwork.com.au/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-10679127606680137132011-01-12T11:45:31.994-08:002011-01-12T11:45:31.994-08:00I think if I had seen the second one first, I woul...I think if I had seen the second one first, I would not have known it's yours. Your experiment with circles and paintsticks is really wonderful, it makes me want to get mine bak out and run them over some stitching. I love the background on the leaves, I can see where the black wouldn't work. I couldn't really say one is my favorite over the other, they are just different, and I like them both.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12821013559380002293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-69294221795577413312011-01-12T11:22:17.270-08:002011-01-12T11:22:17.270-08:00Both of these really delight me, Terri.

In the leaves, you do your usual amazing work with printed fabric -- that is one of my favorite aspects of your art, now you mix prints and colors so successfully. These leaves have an elegance to them -- and the shading and highlights you've added make these really rich.<br /><br />As for the circle, I am TOTALLY wowed by it. Not just because it seems like a different piece for you, but because it is so simple and complex at the same time. I love looking at it. The use of the paintstick really works too. Wow. Just Wow.Diane Perinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07447372718275554860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-53824805713328559572011-01-12T10:40:57.802-08:002011-01-12T10:40:57.802-08:00I think the leaves are very pretty and make great ...I think the leaves are very pretty and make great use of your fabric stash, but I find the composition to be static and overall it doesn't keep my attention very long.<br /><br />The circle piece, on the other hand, I find very interesting and dynamic. I like that it, too, is made up of lots of fabrics. I like it's off-kilterness. I love that it is a bit of a stretch from your usual representational work!

Its construction is less obvious and draws me in more to try to work it out. I too have a book by Keiko Goke - I bought it in Kyoto and my husband thought I had finally gone WAY too far buying quilt books in Japanese! But it is a great book.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06589254083891378425noreply@blogger.com
