When I announced the theme for the next challenge, this is what popped into my mind. The red is crinkled paper strips that surrounded a gift I received last year. I knew it would come in handy sometime. There are shreds from previous quilts and some silk threads as well, covered with black tulle and quilted. My machine did not enjoy quilting through the thick red paper! The edging is made of several strands of novelty wool.
Ha, the emotional colours and lines of frenzy! Speaks volumnes. Isn't it great when we use up something that has lurcked around for a while?

love it! it sure looks very frenzied - thanks for choosing a great theme!
ReplyDeleteNice sense of wild, Helena. And a great subject choice.
ReplyDeleteThere's something about the jagged, zigzag line of your red paper that says "Frenzy". I could have used a zigzag stitch in my own piece to capitalize on that association.
ReplyDeleteThe texture of our piece totally conveys that frenzy feeling - and even in a 2D photo! Pretty much looks like my sewing room right now. I love the humor, Helena!
ReplyDeleteGreat piece- Great subject though I hated it at first.
ReplyDeleteI have carpeting in my work room and my floor often looks like this after a session and I can see wonderful small work pieces and wonder how can I lift it and keep it as it is. Great!
