Product Description

Mini Art Quilt for framing 8"x10"- "Orange Double Maples Sunprint". A sunprint of two Maple leaves on fabric painted in shades of orange. The veins in the leaves were rubbed on using wax pastels. The sunprint is bordered by an ivory with gold metallic flecks fabric. The piece is bound with white and gold yarn couched on the edges. Freemotion quilting accents the sunprint, and borders are quilted with a vinelike pattern. Sized for a standard size frame, or display any way you wish.

Inspiration/Story Behind This Product

Botanical Sunprints are are a way of using my gardens in my art. They are made by placing leaves, flowers, and(or) thin foam sheet cutouts (for butterflies or hummingbirds) onto freshly painted cotton fabric, while the paint is still wet, and placed in the sun to dry. The combination of sun and humidity affect the speed at which the paint dries. If conditions are ideal, the color moves from under the leaf or flower, resulting in the sunprint. No two can be the same, due to different drying conditions and paint color combinations. Every print is a unique original.

Materials Used

cotton fabric, paint, thread, batting
