Looking for hours at the diverse greenery, and over and over again thru hundreds of my traveling daughters pictures, the title Nature’s Lace just fits. It is a small glimpse into the world of tropical rainforests, – this one is north of Cairns/Australia, where this kind of palmtree is native to. What’s missing on the image, the sounds of the rainforest.
 

 Living Colour will have it’s debut at the APNQ Quiltfest in August 2008.

I’m adding some shading by fabric felt-pen to give it a more 3-dimensional look. Painting on fabric.

Now comes the quilting, lots of it. I love this part, to give the piece even more dimension, structure and depth.
