Product Description
"Sunflowers on the Rocks" Art Quilt is a beautiful small piece of textile art from my "On the Rocks" series. The quilt is 5"x7", mounted onto an 8"x10" pre-stretched artist canvas covered with a luscious hand dyed fabric.

Hand stitching adds more small plant life to the composition. A mossy green, nubby yarn binds the quilt's edges. It then was mounted onto a gallery wrapped canvas covered with a hand dyed fabric is rich shades of green and brown with touches of gold and blue.

There is a picture wire added to the back of the canvas, or this can be placed into a frame, if wanted, for hanging.
Inspiration/Story Behind This Product
This little quilt was made during a workshop I took with Rosalie Dace from South Africa, this summer. We were guided to experiment with various ways of adding texture to our quilts, using various fabrics, fibers, stitching, beading and more.

The center is a photo of sunflowers printed on cotton fabric. It is surrounded by pieces of rocky sections made from many different fabrics stitched together, with yarns couched over to add more texture and give the look of the moss and other little plants that grow in harsh rocky environments. Beads and small gemstone chips are tucked into crevices between the rocks like you would find in nature. The flower centers are also accented with beads, French knots, and other stitching to give them texture.
