"Soft Rainbow Ferns and Daisies Sunprint" Art Quilt for framing 11"x14".

A sunprint of two varieties of ferns, four daisy flowers and a butterfly on fabric painted in a soft rainbow of rose, lavender, gray, peach, yellow and a touch of blue. The sunprint is bordered by an ivory with gold metallic flecks fabric. The piece is bound with ivory 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.

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.
